Lyapunov transformation of differential operators with unbounded operator coefficients

Abstract

We introduce a number of notions related to the Lyapunov transformation of linear differential operators with unbounded operator coefficients generated by a family of evolution operators. We prove statements about similar operators related to the Lyapunov transformation and describe their spectral properties. One of the main results of the paper is a similarity theorem for a perturbed differential operator with constant operator coefficient, an operator which is the generator of a bounded group of operators. For the perturbation, we consider the operator ofmultiplication by a summable operator function. The almost periodicity (at infinity) of the solutions of the corresponding homogeneous differential equation is established.
