Singularly non-autonomous semilinear parabolic problems with critical exponents (Q843346)

The authors consider singularly non-autonomous semilinear abstract parabolic problems of the form \[ \left\{ \begin{aligned} \frac{dx}{dt}+A(t)x=f(t,x), & t>0\\ x(\tau)=x_0\in D,& \end{aligned} \right. \] in a Banach space \(X\) where \(A(t):D\subset X\to X\) is a linear, closed and unbounded operator which is sectorial for each \(t\), \(f:\mathbb{R}\times D\to X\) is critical (has the same order as \(A(t)\)). The authors show local well posedness for the case when the nonlinearity \(f\) grows critically. Applications to semilinear parabolic equations and strongly damped wave equations are given.
