Abstract

This paper deals with the existence and uniqueness of positive mild solutions for a class of semilinear evolution equations with nonlocal initial conditions on infinite interval. The existence and uniqueness of mild solution for the associated linear evolution equation nonlocal problem is established, and the spectral radius of resolvent operator is accurately estimated. With the aid of the estimation, the existence and uniqueness of positive mild solutions for nonlinear evolution equation nonlocal problem are obtained by using the monotone iterative method without the assumption of lower and upper solutions. The theorems proved in this paper improve and extend some related results in ordinary differential equations and partial differential equations. An example is also given to illustrate that our results are valuable.
