Abstract:

We give an existence result for the evolution equation $(R u)' + A u = f$ in the space $W = \{ u \in V \
\ (R u)' \in V' \}$ where $V$ is a Banach space and $R$ is a non-invertible operator (the equation may be partially elliptic and partially parabolic, both forward and backward) and we study the ``Cauchy-Dirichlet'' problem associated to this equation (indeed also for the inclusion $(R u)' + A u \ni f$). We also investigate continuous and compact embeddings of $W$ and regularity in time of the solution. At the end we give some examples of different $R$.
