On the structure of solutions of operator-differential equations on the whole real axis

Abstract

We consider differential equations of the form $\left(\frac{d^{2}}{dt^{2}} - B\right)^{m}y(t) = f(t)$, $m \in \mathbb{N}, \ t \in (-\infty, \infty)$, where $B$ is a positive operator in a Banach space $\mathfrak{B}, \ f(t)$ is a bounded continuous vector-valued function on $(-\infty, \infty)$ with values in $\mathfrak{B}$, and describe all their solutions. In the case, where $f(t) \equiv 0$, we prove that every solution of such an equation can be extended to an entire $\mathfrak{B}$-valued function for which the Phragmen-Lindel\"{o}f principle is fulfilled. It is also shown that there always exists a unique bounded on $\mathbb{R}^{1}$ solution, and if $f(t)$ is periodic or almost periodic, then this solution is the same as $f(t)$.
