Well-posedness for time-fractional evolution equations by the Yosida approximation
Abstract
We consider an initial value problem for a time-fractional evolution equation in a Hilbert space X: ∂tα (u(t)−a) = Au(t) for $0<t<T$, where ∂tα denotes a fractional differential operator of Caputo type with order 0<α<1, u: (0,T) → X, a describes an initial value, and A, with domain 𝒟(A), is the generator of a contraction C0 semigroup in X. We prove a fractional Hille-Yosida theorem characterizing the unique existence of a weak solution for every a∈ X. We also discuss the unique existence of a strong solution for a ∈ 𝒟(A), as well as the continuity of weak solutions. Our results are applicable, for example, to time-fractional transport equations and Boltzmann equations. The proofs are mainly based on constructing an approximating sequence of solutions using the Yosida approximation.

AB - We consider an initial value problem for a time-fractional evolution equation in a Hilbert space X: ∂_t^α (u(t)−a) = Au(t) for $0<t<T$, where ∂_t^α denotes a fractional differential operator of Caputo type with order 0<α<1, u: (0,T) → X, a describes an initial value, and A, with domain 𝒟(A), is the generator of a contraction C_0 semigroup in X. We prove a fractional Hille-Yosida theorem characterizing the unique existence of a weak solution for every a∈ X.
