Abstract

We consider the maximal regularity problem for non-autonomous evolution equations of the form u(t)+A(t)u(t)=f(t)u(t) + A(t) u(t) = f(t) with initial data u(0)=u_0u(0) = u\_0 . Each operator A(t)A(t) is associated with a sesquilinear form a(t;,)a(t; *, *) on a Hilbert space HH . We assume that these forms all have the same domain and satisfy some regularity assumption with respect to t (e.g., piecewise α\alpha-H{\"o}lder continuous for some α\textgreater1/2\alpha\textgreater{} 1/2). We prove maximal Lp-regularity for all initial values in the real-interpolation space (H,D(A(0)))_1/p,p(H, D(A(0)))\_{1/p,p} . The particular case where p=2p = 2 improves previously known results and gives a positive answer to a question of J.L. Lions [11] on the set of allowed initial data u_0u\_0 .
