Maximal regularity for non-autonomous evolution equations (Q889949)

In this paper, the authors consider the maximal regularity problem for non-autonomous evolution equations of the form \(u'(t)+A(t)u(t)=f(t)\), \(t\in(0,\tau]\), and \(u(0)=u_0\). Each operator \(A(t)\) is associated with a sesquilinear form on a Hilbert space \(H\). These forms all have the same domain and satisfy some regularity assumption with respect to \(t\). Under such assumptions, the authors prove maximal \(L^p\)-regularity for all \(u_0\) in the interpolation space \((H,D(A(0)))_{1-1/p,p}\). This result is new also in the case \(p=2\), improves previously known results, and gives a positive answer to a question of \textit{J. L. Lions} [Équations différentielles opérationnelles et problèmes aux limites. Die Grundlehren der mathematischen Wissenschaften. 111. Berlin- Göttingen-Heidelberg: Springer-Verlag (1961; Zbl 0098.31101)] on the set of allowed initial data \(u_0\).
