Non-Autonomous Maximal Regularity in Hilbert Spaces

Abstract

We consider non-autonomous evolutionary problems of the form $u'(t)+A(t)u(t)=f(t)$, $u(0)=u_0,$ on $L^2([0,T];H)$, where $H$ is a Hilbert space. We do not assume that the domain of the operator $A(t)$ is constant in time $t$, but that $A(t)$ is associated with a sesquilinear form $a(t)$. Under sufficient time regularity of the forms $a(t)$ we prove well-posedness with maximal regularity in $L^2([0,T];H)$. Our regularity assumption is significantly weaker than those from previous results inasmuch as we only require a fractional Sobolev regularity with arbitrary small Sobolev index.
