Local well-posedness for a class of semilinear Moore-Gibson-Thompson equations with subcritical nonlinearities
In this paper, we study a class of higher-order semilinear evolution equations inspired by the Moore-Gibson-Thompson model introduced by Dell'Oro, Liverani and Pata (2023), involving strongly elliptic operators of order ($2m$) with homogeneous boundary conditions. The associated unbounded linear operator is a sectorial operator with zero belonging to the resolvent set, allowing the construction of fractional powers spaces, and the analysis of their spectral properties. We prove the local well-p…
