Strip-type operators and abstract Cauchy problems

TL;DR
This work develops an operator-theoretic framework for non-homogeneous abstract linear Schrödinger and wave equations driven by strip-type and parabola-type operators in Banach spaces. By leveraging sectorial calculus, $R$-boundedness, and the Da Prato-Grisvard formula, it establishes well-posedness of classical solutions in vector-valued Sobolev-Slobodetskii spaces and extends the analysis to $R$-bounded operator families. It further analyzes closures of the associated sums and provides a robust inversion theory via operator-valued Fourier multipliers, enabling short-time existence results for a class of abstract semilinear wave equations. The results unify linear and semilinear theories in UMD spaces and offer a pathway to quasilinear extensions and Hilbert-space specializations. Overall, the paper advances the understanding of evolution equations with strip-type and parabola-type spectral geometry in Banach spaces, with explicit solution representations and stability estimates.
Abstract
We consider the non-homogeneous abstract linear Schrödinger and wave equations with zero initial conditions, defined by operators of strip-type and parabola-type in Banach spaces, respectively, and establish the well-posedness of classical solutions in appropriate vector-valued Sobolev-Slobodetskii spaces. We obtain analogous results for two extensions of these equations by replacing the previously mentioned boundedness properties of the associated operators with $R$-boundedness. As an application, we consider an abstract semilinear wave equation and establish the existence and uniqueness of classical solutions to this problem for short times.
