Maximal regularity and Hardy spaces
Several abstract model problems of elliptic and parabolic type with inhomogeneous initial and boundary data are discussed. By means of a variant of the Dore-Venni theorem, real and complex interpolation, and trace theorems, optimal -regularity is shown. By means of this purely operator theoretic approach, classical results on -regularity of the diffusion equation with inhomogeneous Dirichlet or Neumann or Robin condition are recovered. An application to a dynamic boundary value problem with surface...
Local well-posedness of the curve shortening flow, that is, local existence, uniqueness and smooth dependence of solutions on initial data, is proved by applying the Local Inverse Function Theorem and -maximal regularity results for linear parabolic equations. The application of the Local Inverse Function Theorem leads to a particularly short proof which gives in addition the space-time regularity of the solutions. The method may be applied to general nonlinear evolution equations, but is presented...
