Abstract

We consider the degenerate evolution equation Cx(t) duldt + c2(t)A(t)u =f(t) in Hilbert space, where c1, c2, c1+ c2>0; A(t) is an unbounded linear operator satisfying the usual conditions which ensure that there is a unique solution for the Cauchy problem du/dt -f A(t)u = fit) in (0, T), u(0) = u0. We prove the existence and uniqueness of a weak solution, and differentiability theorems. Applications to degenerate parabolic equations are given.
