Abstract

Let be the - not necessarily densely defined - generator of an analytic semigroup acting in some Banach space . In the paper we prove a general theorem about the existence and uniqueness of solutions of

Our main assumption with respect to the non-linearity is that is locally Lipschitz continuous with respect to certain intermediate spaces between and . Our theorem extends results obtained by W. von Wahl [9] and A. Lunardi [2]. In the second part this theorem is applied to the Cahn-Hilliard equation with Dirichlet boundary conditions.
