Higher-order degenerate Cauchy problems in locally convex spaces (Q814277)

Using the so-called \(C\)-propagation family of operators, the authors give conditions for the \(C\)-well-posedness of the higher-order degenerate Cauchy problem \[ \frac{d^n}{dt^n}Bu(t) = Au(t), t \geq 0, \;(Bu)^{(k)}(0)=Bu_k, 0 \leq k \leq n-1, \tag{1} \] where \(A\) and \(B\) are closed linear operators in a sequentially complete locally convex topological space. As an application, problem (1) with \(n=2\) and differential operators \(A\) and \(B\) is considered.
