Abstract

It is shown that a large class of semilinear evolution equations on the whole line with periodic or almost periodic forces admit periodic or almost periodic mild solutions. The approach presented generalizes the method described in [28] to the case of the whole line and to forces which are almost periodic in the sense of H. Bohr. It relies on interpolation methods and on \(L^p-L^q\)-smoothing properties of the underlying linearized equation. Applied to incompressible fluid flow problems, the approach yields new results on (almost) periodic solutions to the Navier-Stokes-Oseen equations, to the flow past rotating obstacles, to the Navier-Stokes equations in the rotational setting as well as to Ornstein–Uhlenbeck type equations.

Dedicated to Yoshikazu Giga on the occasion of his 60th Birthday.
