Degenerate abstract Volterra equations in locally convex spaces

Abstract

In the paper under review, we analyze various types of degenerate abstract Volterra integrodifferential equations in sequentially complete locally convex spaces. From the theory of non-degenerate equations, it is well known that the class of (a,k)-regularized C-resolvent families provides an efficient tool for dealing with abstract Volterra integro-differential equations of scalar type. Following the approach of T.-J. Xiao and J. Liang [41]-[43], we introduce the class of degenerate exponentially equicontinuous (a,k)- regularized C-resolvent families and discuss its basic structural properties. In the final section of paper, we will look at generation of degenerate fractional resolvent operator families associated with abstract differential operators.
