Periodicity of mild solutions to higher order differential equations in Banach spaces

Thanh Lan Nguyen

Abstract:
We give necessary and sufficient conditions for the periodicity of mild solutions to the the higher order differential equation $u^{(n)}(t)=Au(t)+f(t)$, $0\le t \le T$, in a Banach space $E$. Applications are made to the cases, when $A$ generates a $C_0$-semigroup or a cosine family, and when $E$ is a Hilbert space.
