We study the existence of S-asymptotically ω-periodic solutions for a class of abstract partial integro-differential equations and for a class of abstract partial integrodifferential equations with delay. Applications to integral equations arising in the study of heat conduction in materials with memory are shown.

SynopsisAn improperly posed problem is studied for a linear partial integro-differential equation of convolution type on the semi-axis. The problem originates from a generalised process of heat conduction in materials with fading memory, where the temperature of the material has to be determined for prescribed homogeneous boundary conditions and for a given final temperature distribution. By using eigenfunctions of the n-dimensional Laplacian, the problem is reduced to a family of equivalent initial-value problems for ordinary integro-differential equations; the latter are treated by the method of factorisation in a suitable function algebra. Sufficient conditions for the existence and uniqueness of solutions to the original problem are obtained in terms of the solvability conditions of the reduced problems. The whole analysis is performed simultaneously in a broad variety of spaces consisting of functions with an exponential growth rate (in the time variable) at infinity. One of the main advantages in the present approach is that solutions, if they exist, can always be computed explicitly.

We prove a global in time abstract existence and uniqueness result for a general parabolic problem of reconstruction of a convolution kernel. The result is, in particular, applicable to the theory of heat conduction for materials with memory.
