a b s t r a c t The paper is concerned with the existence of almost periodic solutions to the so-called semilinear thermoelastic plate systems. For that, the strategy consists of seeing these systems as a particular case of the semilinear parabolic evolution equations

where A (t ) for t ∈ R is a family of sectorial linear operators on a Banach space X satisfying the so-called Acquistapace–Terreni conditions, and f is a function defined on a real interpolation space Xα for α ∈ (0, 1). Under some reasonable assumptions it will be shown that (∗) has a unique almost periodic solution.

1. Introduction In recent years the so-called thermoelastic plate systems have been of a great interest to many authors in different and various circumstances. In particular, the controllability and stability of these thermoelastic systems have been studied in [6,8,10,13,19,20,25]. Let a, b be positive functions and let Ω ⊂ R N (N  1) be a bounded subset, which is sufficiently regular. In this paper we study the existence and uniqueness of almost periodic solutions to the thermoelastic plate systems

where u , θ are the vertical deflection and the variation of temperature of the plate and the functions f 1 , f 2 are continuous and (globally) Lipschitz. Assuming the almost periodicity of the functions a, b, f 1 , f 2 , it will be shown that (1.1) has a unique almost periodic solution. It is worth mentioning that this question was recently studied by H. Leiva et al. [21] in the case when not only the coefficients a, b were constant but also there was no gradient terms in the semilinear terms f 1 and f 2 .

To study almost periodic solutions to (1.1), our strategy consists of seeing such a system as an abstract evolution equation. For that, let H = L 2 (Ω) and take A to be the (unbounded) linear operator D ( A ) = H2 (Ω) ∩ H10 (Ω) Setting x :=



u ∂u ∂t



A ϕ = −ϕ

and

for each

ϕ ∈ D ( A ).

, the problem (1.1) can be rewritten in X := D ( A ) × H × H in the following form

θ





x (t ) = A (t )x(t ) + f t , x(t ) ,

t ∈ R,

(1.2)

where A (t ) is the linear operator defined by

D A (t ) = D A 2 × D ( A ) × D ( A ),

t ∈ R.

Moreover, the semilinear term f is defined only on R × Xα for some

< α < 1 by f (t , u , v , θ) =

where Xα

is the real interpolation space between X and D ( A (t )) given by Xα = H1+α × Hα × Hα , with Hα = ( L (Ω), D ( A ))α ,∞ , and H1+α is the domain of the part of A in Hα , see Section 2 for definitions and properties of these spaces. In Section 3, we study the existence of a unique almost periodic solution to the abstract semilinear evolution equation





x (t ) = A (t )x(t ) + f t , x(t ) ,

t ∈ R,

(1.4)

where A (t ) for t ∈ R satisfy the Acquistapace–Terreni conditions (see assumption (H1)), and f : R × Xα → X. Here, we assume the existence of α ∈ (0, 1) such that Xtα = Xα for each t ∈ R. Of course, these existence results will be obtained through the fixed-point theorem and studying the inhomogeneous evolution equation x (t ) = A (t )x(t ) + g (t ),

t ∈ R.

(1.5)

It is worth mentioning that this question has already been studied in the autonomous and periodic cases, see e.g. [5,7,9,16,17,27,30] for details. Now assuming the almost periodicity of both g and the resolvent R (ω, A (·)), ω  0, and that the evolution family U solving the homogeneous problem has an exponential dichotomy on R, it was shown in [24] that the unique bounded mild solution of (1.5) was almost periodic in X. Since the semilinear term f is defined only on the interpolation space Xα for α ∈ (0, 1), we must show that the bounded mild solution of (1.5) is also almost periodic in Xα . Finally, if the function f : R × Xα → X is continuous, almost periodic and globally Lipschitz, by the fixed point principle, we obtain the existence of a unique almost periodic mild solution to the semilinear evolution equation (1.4) in the real interpolation space Xα . In Section 4, we show that the family of operators A (t ) given by (1.3) satisfies the Acquistapace–Terreni condition (H1). The fact that each operator A (t ) be sectorial was shown in [21], however here we give a complete proof, as we have to determine the precise constants in order to comply with assumption (H1). Finally, by applying the abstract result  u  developed in the previous section, we prove that the thermoelastic system (1.1) has a unique almost periodic solution θ in H1+α × Hα . 2. Preliminaries In this section we introduce some notations and preliminaries, which will be used in the sequel. Let (X, · ) be a Banach space and let L(X) denote the Banach space of all bounded linear operators on X. Let A (t ) for t ∈ R be closed linear operators on X with domain D ( A (t )) (possibly not densely defined) satisfying the following hypothesis: (H1) There is an

ω  0 such that the operators A (t ) for t ∈ R satisfy

  Σφ ∪ {0} ⊆ ρ A (t ) − ω , and

    R λ, A (t ) − ω

μ + ν > 1.

(2.2)

μ, ν ∈ (0, 1] with

Remark 2.1. In the case of a constant domain D ( A (t )), one can replace assumption (2.2) (see e.g. [4,26]) with the following (H1) There exist constants L and 0 < μ  1 such that

     A (t ) − A (s) R ω, A (r )   L |t − s|μ ,

s, t , r ∈ R.

Let us mention that assumption (H1) was introduced in the literature by P. Acquistapace and B. Terreni in [2,3] for Among other things, it ensures that there exists a unique evolution family U on X such that:

ω = 0.

(a) U (t , s)U (s, r ) = U (t , r ); (b) U (t , t ) = I for t  s  r in R; (c) (t , s) → U (t , s) ∈ L(X) is continuous for t > s; (d) U (·, s) ∈ C 1 ((s, ∞), L(X)), ∂∂Ut (t , s) = A (t )U (t , s) and

   A (t )k U (t , s)  C (t − s)−k

(2.3)

for 0 < t − s  1, k = 0, 1, 0  α < μ, x ∈ D ((ω − A (s))α ), and a constant C depending only on the constants appearing in (H1); and (e) ∂s+ U (t , s)x = −U (t , s) A (s)x for t > s and x ∈ D ( A (s)) with A (s)x ∈ D ( A (s)). The above-mentioned proprieties have been established in [1, Theorem 2.3] and [32, Theorem 2.1], see also [3,31]. In this case we say that A (·) generates U . One says that an evolution family U has an exponential dichotomy (or is hyperbolic) if there are projections P (t ) (t ∈ R) that are uniformly bounded and strongly continuous in t and constants δ > 0 and N  1 such that (a) U (t , s) P (s) = P (t )U (t , s); (b) the restriction U Q (t , s) : Q (s)X → Q (t )X of U (t , s) is invertible (we then set U Q (s, t ) := U Q (t , s)−1 ); and (c) U (t , s) P (s)  Ne −δ(t −s) and U Q (s, t ) Q (t )  Ne −δ(t −s)

for t  s and t , s ∈ R. Throughout the rest of the paper, we set Q = I − P for a projection P , see e.g. [11,12,14,18,22] for more details. In addition to above, we further suppose that (H2) The evolution family U generated by A (·) has an exponential dichotomy with constants N , δ > 0 and dichotomy projections P (t ) for t ∈ R. We recall from [28], the following sufficient conditions to fulfilled the assumption (H2). (H2.1) Let ( A (t ), D (t ))t ∈R be generators of analytic semigroups on X of the same type. Suppose that D ( A (t )) ≡ D ( A (0)), A (t ) is invertible, supt ,s∈R A (t ) A (s)−1 is finite, and A (t ) A (s)−1 − Id  L 0 |t − s|μ for t , s ∈ R and constants L 0  0 and 0 < μ  1. (H2.2) The semigroups (e τ A (t ) )τ 0 , t ∈ R, are hyperbolic with projection P t and constants N , δ > 0. Moreover, let A (t )e τ A (t ) P t  ψ(τ ) and A (t )e τ A Q (t ) Q t  ψ(−τ ) for τ > 0 and a function ψ such that R  s → ϕ (s) := |s|μ ψ(s) is integrable with L 0 ϕ L 1 (R) < 1. We need to prove some estimates related to U (t , s). For that, we introduce the interpolation spaces for A (t ). We refer the reader to [4,14,23] for proofs and further information on theses spaces. Let A be a sectorial operator on X (assumption (H1) holds when A (t ) is replaced with A) and α ∈ (0, 1). Define the real interpolation space

    XαA := x ∈ X: x αA := supr α ( A − ω) R (r , A − ω)x < ∞ , r >0

which, by the way, is a Banach space when endowed with the norm · αA . For convenience we further write X0A := X, x 0A := x , X1A := D ( A ) and x 1A := (ω − A )x .

X A := D ( A ) of X. In particular, we will frequently be using the following continuous We also need the closed subspace  embedding 



X A ⊂ X, D ( A ) → XβA → D (ω − A )α → XαA → 

(2.4)

for all 0 < α < β < 1, where the fractional powers are defined in the usual way. In general, D ( A ) is not dense in the spaces XαA and X. However, we have the following continuous injection

XβA → D ( A ) · α

for 0 < α < β < 1.

Given the operators A (t ) for t ∈ R, satisfying (H1), we set A (t )

Xtα := Xα ,

 X t :=  X A (t )

for 0  α  1 and t ∈ R, with the corresponding norms. Then the embedding in (2.4) hold with constants independent of t ∈ R. These interpolation spaces are of class Jα [23, Definition 1.1.1] and hence there is a constant c (α ) such that

 α y tα  c (α ) y 1−α  A (t ) y  ,





y ∈ D A (t ) .

(2.6)

We have the following fundamental estimates for the evolution family U . Proposition 2.2. For x ∈ X, 0  α  1 and t > s, the following hold: (i) There is a constant c (α ), such that

  U (t , s) P (s)xt  c (α )e − 2δ (t −s) (t − s)−α x . α

(2.7)

(ii) There is a constant m(α ), such that

 s  U Q (s, t ) Q (t )xα  m(α )e −δ(t −s) x .

(2.8)

Proof. (i) Using (2.6) we obtain

  U (t , s) P (s)xt  c (α )(t − s)−α e − 2δ (t −s) x . α If 0 < t − s  1, we have

It remains to give some definitions and facts concerning the concept of almost periodicity [15,22,27]. Let ( Z , · Z ) and (Y , · Y ) be arbitrary Banach spaces. In this work, we denote by BC (R, Z ) the Banach space of all Z -valued bounded continuous functions equipped with the sup norm defined for each ϕ ∈ BC (R, Z ) by

  ϕ = supϕ (t ) Z . t ∈R

Similarly, B (R × Y , Z ) denotes the collection of all Z -valued bounded continuous functions F : R × Y → Z . The next definition due to H. Bohr is the most convenient for the present setting. Definition 2.3. A continuous function g : R → Y is called almost periodic if for every  > 0 there exist a set P ( , A ) ⊆ R and a number ( ) > 0 such that each interval (a, a + ( )), a ∈ R, contains an almost period τ = τ ∈ P ( , A ) and the estimate g (t + τ ) − g (t )   holds for all t ∈ R and τ ∈ P ( , A ). The space of almost periodic functions is denoted by A P (R, Y ). Let us recall that A P (R, Y ) is a closed subspace of BC (R, Y ) and hence is itself a Banach space, see [22, Chapter 1]. Definition 2.4. A function f ∈ BC (R × Y , Z ) is called almost periodic if for every ε > 0 and every compact set K ⊂ Y there exists l(ε , K ) > 0 such that every interval I of length l(ε , K ) contains a number τ and for t ∈ R, x ∈ K

   f (t + τ , x) − f (t , x) < ε . Z

Finally, we mention the following important result. Lemma 2.5. (See [15].) Let f : R × Y → Z be almost periodic, globally Lipschitzian and y : R → Y be an almost periodic function then the function t → f (t , y (t )) is also almost periodic. 3. Main results In what follows, we let A (t ) for t ∈ R be a family of linear operators on a Banach space (X, · ) satisfying (H1) and that its corresponding evolution family U satisfies (H2). In addition to that we suppose that the following holds: (H3) There exists 0  α < β < 1 such that

Xtα = Xα and Xtβ = Xβ for all t ∈ R, with uniform equivalent norms. Consider the semilinear evolution equation





x (t ) = A (t )x(t ) + f t , x(t ) ,

t ∈ R,

(3.1)

where the function f : R × Xα → X is continuous and globally Lipschitzian, i.e., there is k > 0 such that

   f (t , x) − f (t , y )  k x − y α for all t ∈ R and x, y ∈ Xα .

(3.2)

To study the almost periodicity of the solutions of (3.1), we assume that the following holds: (H4) R (ω, A (·)) ∈ A P (R, L(X)) with pseudo periods

τ = τ belonging to sets P ( , A ).

By a mild solution of (3.1) we mean every continuous function x : R → Xα , which satisfies the following variation of constants formula

t x(t ) = U (t , s)x(s) +

U (t , σ ) f





σ , x(σ ) dσ for all t  s, t , s ∈ R.

(3.3)

Actually, we first study the existence of a unique almost periodic mild solution for the inhomogeneous evolution equation x (t ) = A (t )x(t ) + g (t ),

t ∈ R.

(3.4)

We have the following main result. Theorem 3.1. Assume that assumptions (H1)–(H4) hold. Let g ∈ BC (R, X). Then the following properties hold. (i) Eq. (3.4) has a unique bounded mild solution x : R → Xα given by

t x(t ) =

+∞ U (t , s) P (s) g (s) ds −

(ii) If g ∈ A P (R, X), then x ∈ A P (R, Xα ).

Proof. Since g is bounded, we know from [11] that the function x given by (3.5) is the unique bounded mild solution in X. For the boundedness in Xα , using Proposition 2.2, we have

    x(t )  c x(t ) α β t

(3.6)

For (ii), let  > 0 and P ( , A , f ) be the set of pseudo periods for the almost periodic function t → ( f (t ), R (ω, A (t ))), see details in [22, p. 6]. We know, from [24, Theorem 4.5] that x, as an X-valued function is almost periodic. Hence, there exists β

For θ = α β , the reiteration theorem implies that Xα = (X, Xβ )θ,∞ . Using the property of interpolation and (3.6), we obtain

To show the existence of almost periodic solutions for the semilinear evolution equation (3.1), let y ∈ A P (R, Xα ) and f ∈ A P (R × Xα , X). By Lemma 2.5, the function g (·) := f (·, y (·)) ∈ A P (R, X), and from Theorem 3.1, the semilinear equation (3.1) has a unique mild solution x ∈ A P (R, Xα ) given by

By taking k small enough, that is, k < (c (α )δ −α Γ (1 − α ) + m(α )δ −1 )−1 , the operator F becomes a contraction on A P (R, Xα ) and hence has a unique fixed point in A P (R, Xα ), which obviously is the unique Xα -valued almost periodic solution to (3.1). The previous discussion can be formulated as follows: Theorem 3.2. Let α ∈ (0, 1). Suppose that assumptions (H1)–(H4) hold and that (c (α )δ −α Γ (1 − α ) + m(α )δ −1 )−1 . Then (3.1) has a unique mild solution x in A P (R, Xα ).

f ∈ A P (R × Xα , X) with k <

4. Application Let a, b be positive functions and let Ω ⊂ R N (N  1) be a bounded subset, which is sufficiently regular. In this section we μ study (1.1) in the case when the positive real functions a, b are undervalued respectively by a0 , b0 and a, b ∈ C b (R) ∩ A P (R) and u , θ are the vertical deflection and the temperature of the plate. We shall assume that the functions f 1 , f 2 : R × H10 (Ω) × H10 (Ω) → L 2 (Ω) are defined by





f i (t , u , θ)(x) = f i t , ∇ u (x), ∇θ(x) =

K di (t ) 1 + |∇ u (x)| + |∇θ(x)|

for x ∈ Ω , t ∈ R, i = 1, 2, where di are almost periodic real functions. It is not hard to check that the functions f i (i = 1, 2) are continuous in R × H10 (Ω) × H10 (Ω) and globally Lipschitz functions, with Lipschitz constant L > 0 i.e.,

   1  f i (t , u , θ) − f i (t , v , η)  L u − v 2 1 + θ − η 2H1 (Ω) 2 H (Ω) 0

0

for all t ∈ R, u , v , η and θ ∈ H10 (Ω). In order to apply the results of Section 2, we need to check that assumptions (H1), (H1) , (H2) and (H4) hold. For technical need, we assume furthermore that





max b2 (t ) < 3 a20 + 1

(4.1)

t ∈R

and the functions a and b are Lipschitz continuous with sufficiently small Lipschitz constants. To show (2.1) appearing in (H1), we follow along the same lines as in [21]. For that, let 0 < λ1 < λ2 < · · · < λn → ∞ be the eigenvalues of A with the finite multiplicity γn equal to the dimension of the corresponding eigenspace and {φn,k } is a complete orthonormal set of eigenvectors for A. For all x ∈ D ( A ) we have Ax =

It is clair that the characteristic equation of the matrix A n (t ) is

  λ3 + b(t )λn λ2 + 1 + a(t )2 λn2 λ + b(t )λn3 = 0.

(4.3)

Setting λ/λn = −ρ , this equation takes the form





ρ 3 − b(t )ρ 2 + 1 + a(t )2 ρ − b(t ) = 0.

(4.4)

From Routh–Hurwitz theorem we obtain that the real part of the roots ρ1 (t ), ρ2 (t ), ρ3 (t ) of (4.4) are positive. By a simple calculation one can verify that the inequality (4.1) assures that the roots ρ1 , ρ2 and ρ3 are simple and uniformly separated. In particular, one root is real and the others are complex with imaginary part sufficiently far from 0. Hence the eigenvalues of A n (t ) are simple and given by σi (t ) = −λn ρi (t ), i = 1, 2, 3. Therefore, the matrix A n (t ) is diagonalizable and then can be written as A n (t ) = K n (t )−1 J n (t ) K n (t ),

Since b(·) is not a solution of (4.4), one can show that the matrix operators K n (t ) and K n−1 (t ) are well defined and K n (t ) P n (t ) : Z := H × H × H → X, K n−1 (t ) P n (t ) : X → Z . The roots

ρi (t ), i = 1, 2, 3, of (4.4) are bounded. Indeed, setting l(t ) = ρ (t ) − b(3t ) , then (4.4) becomes

l(t )3 + p (t )l(t ) + q(t ) = 0, where p (t ) := (1 + a(t )2 ) − Since q is bounded and

b(t )2 , 3

q(t ) :=

2 b(t )3 27

− (2 − a(t )2 ) b(3t ) .

          q(t ) = l(t )l(t )2 + p (t )  l(t )l(t )2 −  p (t ), then l is also bounded. Thus the boundedness of b yields the claim. Now, define the sector S θ as









S θ = λ ∈ C: arg(λ)  θ, λ = 0 , where 0  supt ∈R | arg(ρi (t ))| < π2 , i = 1, 2, 3 and π2 < θ < π − maxi =1,2,3 supt ∈R {| arg(ρi (t ))|}.

For λ ∈ S θ and z ∈ X, one has

Consequently,

To check assumption (H2), we are going to verify the conditions (H2.1) and (H2.2). For every t ∈ R, A (t ) generates an analytic semigroup (e τ A (t ) )τ 0 of the same type on X. Using the same calculus as above, one cane show that, supt ,s∈R A (t ) A (s)−1 < ∞ and for every t , s ∈ R and 0 < μ  1, A (t ) A (s)−1 − Id  L  k|t − s|μ with constant L   0 and k is the Lipschitz constant of the functions a and b.

and then the semigroups (e τ A (t ) )τ 0 , t ∈ R, are hyperbolic. By choosing the Lipschitz constant k of a and b sufficiently small we fulfil the assumptions (H2.1) and (H2.2). Finally, to check (H4), we show that ( A (·))−1 ∈ A P (R, L(X)). Let  > 0, and τ = τ ∈ P ( , a, b). We have

Since A (t )−1 y D  c y , then

   A (t + τ )−1 y − A (t )−1 y   c  ε y . Consequently, A (t )−1 is almost periodic. Finally, for a small constant L, all assumptions of Theorem 3.1 are satisfied and thus the thermoelastic system (1.1) has a  u unique almost periodic mild solution θ with values in H1+α × Hα .
