On the well-posedness of linear evolution equations under unbounded nonautonomous perturbations

We study conditions for the well-posedness of nonautonomous perturbation of evolution equations of the form $$u'(t)=(A+B(t))u(t), \quad t \in [a,b],$$ where $A$ generates a $\mathrm{C}_0$-semigroup $\left (T(t)\right )_{t\ge 0}$ with $\| T(t)\| \le Me^{\omega_0 t}$, $t\ge 0$, in a Banach space $\mathbb{X}$ and $B(t)$ are $t$-dependent (unbounded) linear operators in $\mathbb{X}$. The unbounded perturbation operators $B(t)$ are assumed to belong to a normed space (denoted by $\mathcal{GL}_A (\mathbb{X})$) of unbounded linear operators $C$ in $\mathbb{X}$ such that $D(A) \subset D(C)$ with norm $$\| C\|_A:= (1/M) \sup_{\mu >\omega_0 } \| (\mu-\omega_0) CR(\mu,A)\| <\infty.$$ We prove that the above-mentioned evolution equation admits an evolution family if $\| B(\cdot)\|_A$ is continuous in $[a,b]$. The evolution family is unique if $B(\cdot)R(\mu, A)$ as a function $[a,b]\to \mathcal{L}(\mathbb{X})$ is continuously differentiable, and $$\limsup_{\mu \to\infty} \sup_{t\in [a,b]} \left \| \frac{d}{dt}[B(t)R(\mu,A)]\right \| <\infty.$$ Examples are given to illustrate the obtained results.
