The maximal regularity in L^p (1<p<∞) for the solution of a linear abstract Cauchy problem (1) u'(t) + Lu(t) = f(t), (2) u(0) = 0 where the unknown function u and the given function f are defined on [0,T] with values in a Banach space X, is the requirement that for any f∈L^p(0,T ; X) the Cauchy problem (1) - (2) has a unique solution and that u' and Au belong to L^p(0,T; X) and depend continuously on f in L^p(0,T; X). This problem can be stated in a more abstract form as the problem of solving the equation Au + Bu = f in the space Y = L^p(0,T; X) for appropriate operators A and B acting in Y. In these two seminars I will speak of a result that gives conditions on A, B and X to ensure the bounded invertibility of the operator A+B, and hence the maximal regularity for the solutions of the Cauchy problem.
