the CRC Press Web site at http://www.crcpress.com Preface The meeting on Differential Equations: Inverse and Direct Problems was held in Cortona, June 21-25, 2004 The topics discussed by well-known specialists in the various disciplinary fields during the Meeting included, among others: differential and integrodifferential equations in Banach spaces, linear and nonlinear theory of semigroups, direct and inverse problems for regular and singular elliptic and parabolic differential and/or integrodifferential equations, blow up of solutions, elliptic equations with Wentzell boundary conditions, models in superconductivity, phase transition models, theory of attractors, GinzburgLandau and Schrăodinger equations and, more generally, applications to partial differential and integrodifferential equations from Mathematical Physics The reports by the lecturers highlighted very recent, interesting and original research results in the quoted fields contributing to make the Meeting very attractive and stimulating also to younger participants After a lot of discussions related to the reports, some of the senior lecturers were asked by the organizers to provide a paper on their contribution or some developments of them The present volume is the result of all this In this connection we want to emphasize that almost all the contributions are original and are not expositive papers of results published elsewhere Moreover, a few of the contributions started from the discussions in Cortona and were completed in the very end of 2005 So, we can say that the main purpose of the editors of this volume has consisted in stimulating the preparation of new research results As a consequence, the editors want to thank in a particular way the authors that have accepted this suggestion Of course, we warmly thank the Italian Istituto Nazionale di Alta Matematica that made the Meeting in Cortona possible and also the Universit´a degli Studi di Milano for additional support Finally, the editors thank the staff of Taylor & Francis for their help and useful suggestions they supplied during the preparation of this volume Angelo Favini and Alfredo Lorenzi

that of B) it suffices to note that the m-accretivity of B is reduced to that of the mapping z → |z|q−2 z on C (cf [28, Lemma 3.1]) Thus, as mentioned in Section 2, for every v ∈ X there is a unique solution uε ∈ D(B) to (AStP)ε Next, it follows from (3.4) that λ Sε u X ≤ (λ + iα)Sε u + (κ + iβ)Bu X, ∀ u ∈ D(B), λ > 0, while the boundedness of {uε } follows from the condition D(S) ∩ D(B) = ∅ In this way (AStP)ε yields the boundedness of {Sε uε }: λ Sε uε X ≤ v X + uε X , so that we can show that {uε } satisfies Cauchy condition for convergence Since both of {Sε uε } and {Buε } converge weakly as ε ↓ 0, u := limε↓0 uε is proved to be a unique solution to (AStP) (the weak closedness of S and the demi-closedness of B in X) This concludes the m-accretivity of A + γ = (λ + iα)S + (κ + iβ)B and the generation of the corresponding semigroup {U (t)} on D(A) However, Theorem 3.1 guarantees the existence of unique strong solutions to (ACP) just for initial values from D(A) = D(S) ∩ D(B) (usual theory of nonlinear (quasi-)contraction semigroups) Now, under the setting of Theorem 3.2, we consider the sequence {un (·)} = {U (·)u0,n } of solutions to (ACP) with initial value {u0,n } ⊂ D(A), where {u0,n } is an approximate sequence for u0 ∈ D(A):   Dt un + (λ + iα)(Sun )(t) + (κ + iβ)∂ψ(un (t)) − γun (t) = (ACP)n a.e on R+ ,   un (0) = u0,n We see from (3.5) that U (·)u0 = lim un (·) in C([0, T ]; X) for every T > n→∞ The proof of the smoothing effect U (t)u0 = lim un (t) ∈ D(A) (t > 0) is n→∞ based on the equality: Dt (ψ ◦ un )(t) = Re ∂ψ(un (t)), Dt un (t) X , for a.e on (0, ∞) Setting η := (λ2 + α2 )−1 λκ, we can show that {Sun }, {∂ψ(un )} are bounded in L2 (T −1 , T ; X) for all T > 1: T T −1 ( (Sun )(t) X + η ∂ψ(un (t)) X ) dt ≤ M T (1 + T )ekT u0,n X, where M > and k > 2γ+ := max{γ, 0} are two constants In view of (ACPeq)n , {Dt un } is also bounded in L2 (T −1 , T ; X) Therefore U (t)u0 , the limit of un (t), satisfies (ACPeq) a.e on (T −1 , T ) In fact, Dt and S are weakly closed, while ∂ψ is demi-closed in L2 (T −1 , T ; X) Since T > is arbitrary, U (t)u0 is a strong solution to (ACP) But, what we have proved is U (t)u0 ∈ D(A) for a.e on (0, ∞), ∀ u0 ∈ D(A) Copyright © 2006 Taylor & Francis Group, LLC (3.7) Strong L2 -wellposedness in the complex Ginzburg-Landau equation 275 Nevertheless, we can remove the term “a.e.” in (3.7) In fact, we can choose t0 > in “U (t0 )u0 ∈ D(A)” as small as possible so that we can take U (t0 )u0 as a new initial value in Theorem 3.1 to conclude that U (t)u0 ∈ D(A) (t ≥ t0 ) In what follows we shall verify the inequalities (3.4) and (3.2) when S, B are given by (2.1), (2.2), respectively Verification of (3.4) Let z, y ∈ C with z = y Then in [22, Lemma 2.2] Liskevich-Perelmuter derived the following remarkable inequality (a simpler proof is given in [29, Lemma 2.1]): |q − 2| |Im (z − y)(|z|q−2 z − |y|q−2 y)| , ≤ √ Re (z − y)(|z|q−2 z − |y|q−2 y) q−1 < q < +∞ Setting z := v(x), y := w(x) and integrating it on Ω, we have a new inequality for complex-valued functions: for v, w ∈ Lq (Ω) (v = w) |Im v − w, |v|q−2 v − |w|q−2 w Re v − w, |v|q−2 v − |w|q−2 w Lq ,Lq Lq ,Lq | |q − 2| , ≤ √ q−1 1 = 1; + q q (3.8) note that |v|q−2 v ∈ Lq (Ω) ∀ v ∈ Lq (Ω) Next, we utilize the m-accretive realization Aq of the minus Laplacian (with Dirichlet condition) in Lq (Ω): Aq := −∆ with D(Aq ) := W 2,q (Ω) ∩ W01,q (Ω), < q < ∞ Then we can show that Aq is sectorial of type S(tan ω), ω := tan−1 |q − 2| √ , q−1 in the sense of Goldstein [14, Definition 1.5.8, p 37] (cf Henry [16, p 32]; see also [26]): for all u ∈ D(Aq ), |Im Aq u, |u|q−2 u Lq ,Lq |q − 2| Re Aq u, |u|q−2 u |≤ √ q−1 Lq ,Lq (3.9) It seems to be a surprise that the constant in (3.8) and (3.9) coincides Such a coincidence will be explained as a proof of (3.4) in the rest of this section Now we want to prove (3.9) with Aq replaced with its Yosida approximation Aq, ε : for all v ∈ Lq (Ω), |Im Aq, ε v, |v|q−2 v Lq ,Lq |q − 2| Re Aq, ε v, |v|q−2 v |≤ √ q−1 Lq ,Lq (3.10) The proof of (3.10) is simply performed by combining (3.8) with (3.9) Noting that (1 + εAq )−1 v ∈ Lq (Ω) for every v ∈ Lq (Ω), we can express the pairing Copyright © 2006 Taylor & Francis Group, LLC 276 N Okazawa Aq, ε v, |v|q−2 v Lq ,Lq Aq, ε v, |v|q−2 v as follows: Lq ,Lq = Aq (1 + εAq )−1 v, |(1 + εAq )−1 v|q−2 (1 + εAq )−1 v Lq ,Lq + ε−1 v − (1 + εAq )−1 v, |v|q−2 v − |(1 + εAq )−1 v|q−2 (1 + εAq )−1 v Lq ,Lq , where we have used the definition of Yosida approximation Here we interpret one and the same element (1 + εAq )−1 v on the right-hand side in two different ways, namely as u := (1 + εAq )−1 v ∈ D(Aq ) in the first term and as w := (1 + εAq )−1 v ∈ Lq (Ω) in the second term In this way we can write down the pairing as follows: Aq, ε v, |v|q−2 v = Aq u, |u|q−2 u Lq ,Lq Lq ,Lq + ε−1 v − w, |v|q−2 v − |w|q−2 w Lq ,Lq Applying (3.9) and (3.8) to the first and second terms on the right-hand side, respectively, we can obtain (3.10) Finally, let u ∈ D(B), q ≥ Then we have (Sε u, Bu)L2 = Aq, ε u, |u|q−2 u Lq ,Lq , ∀ u ∈ D(B) (3.11) In fact, noting that D(B) = L2 (Ω) ∩ L2(q−1) (Ω) ⊂ Lq (Ω), we can conclude that Sε u = Aq, ε u ∈ L2 (Ω) ∩ Lq (Ω) and Bu = |u|q−2 u ∈ L2 (Ω) ∩ Lq (Ω) This proves (3.11) By virtue of (3.10) we can obtain (3.4) with X = L2 (Ω) and q−2 ; tan ωq = cq := √ q−1 in this connection see also Remark 4.2 below Verification of (3.2) (3.2) is also derived from (3.8) in the same way as above Proof of Theorem 1.2 Given a nonnegative selfadjoint operator S in a complex Hilbert space X, let ϕ(v) be the proper lower semi-continuous convex function defined as ϕ(v) := (1/2) S 1/2 v X +∞ Copyright © 2006 Taylor & Francis Group, LLC if v ∈ D(ϕ) := D(S 1/2 ), otherwise, Strong L2 -wellposedness in the complex Ginzburg-Landau equation 277 where S 1/2 is the square root of S = ∂ϕ Then the equation in (ACP)ε is given by (ACPeq)ε Dt uε (t) + (λ + iα)∂ϕ(uε (t)) + (κ + iβ)∂ψε (uε (t)) − γuε (t) = a.e on R+ , where ψ ≥ is another proper lower semi-continuous convex function on X Now we introduce five conditions on ϕ and ψ (or S = ∂ϕ and ∂ψ) (A1) {u ∈ X; ϕ(u) ≤ c} is compact in X ∀ c > (A2) ∃ q ∈ [2, ∞); ψ(ζu) = |ζ|q ψ(u) ∀ u ∈ D(ψ), ∀ ζ ∈ C with Re ζ > (A3) ∃ θ ∈ [0, 1]; ∀ (λ, κ, β) ∈ R+ × R+ × R ∃ c1 = c1 (λ, κ, β) > such that for u ∈ D(S) and ε > 0, |(Su, ∂ψε (u))X | ≤ c1 ψ(Jε u)θ ϕ(u) + λ κ2 + β2 Su X, (4.1) where Jε := (1 + ε∂ψ)−1 (A4) D(S) ⊂ D(∂ψ) and ∃ c2 > such that ∂ψ(u) X ≤ c2 ( Su X + u X) ∀ u ∈ D(S) (A5) ∀ (λ, κ, β) ∈ R+ × R+ × R ∃ c3 = c3 (λ, κ, β) > such that |(∂ψ(u) − ∂ψ(v), u − v)X | ψ(u) + ψ(v) θ u − v 2X + ≤ c3 2λ κ2 + β2 ϕ(u − v) (4.2) for u, v ∈ D(∂ψ) ∩ D(ϕ) Here θ ∈ [0, 1] is the same constant as in (A3) As a consequence of condition (A1) we can use compactness methods to prove the convergence of approximate solutions to (ACP)ε In (CGL) we assume that Ω ⊂ Rn is bounded so that Rellich’s theorem is available Now we can state two abstract theorems which lead us to Theorem 1.2 The first theorem is concerned with the existence of solutions to (ACP) THEOREM 4.1 ([30]) Let S be a nonnegative selfadjoint operator in X, ψ a proper lower semi-continuous convex function on X Assume that conditions (A1)–(A4) are satisfied Then for any initial value u0 ∈ D(ϕ) ∩ D(ψ) there exists a strong solution u to (ACP) such that u ∈ C 0,1/2 ([0, T ]; X) ∀ T > Copyright © 2006 Taylor & Francis Group, LLC 278 N Okazawa In connection with (CGL) this theorem is interpreted as follows To avoid the restriction on the coefficient κ + iβ of the nonlinear term |u|q−2 u the size of the power q − is strictly restricted in Theorem 4.1 (cf (1.4)) To see this θ ∈ [0, 1] in condition (A3) is a key constant In the process to verify (A3) θ is given by θ = fN (q) := 2(q − 2) , 2q − N (q − 2) 2≤q ≤2+ ; N (4.3) note that = fN (2) ≤ fN (q) ≤ fN (2 + 4/N ) = To the contrary, in [29, Theorem 4.1] there is a strong restriction on κ + iβ, whereas the power is not restricted Conditions (A1), (A2) are common in these theorems In the second theorem an additional condition (A5) guarantees the wellposedness of (ACP) THEOREM 4.2 ([30]) Let S and ψ be the same as in Theorem 4.1 Assume that conditions (A1)–(A5) are satisfied Then for any u0 ∈ X = D(ϕ) ∩ D(ψ) there exists a unique strong solution u to (ACP), with norm bound u(t) X ≤ eγt u0 X , ∀ t ≥ 0, (4.4) 0,1/2 such that u ∈ Cloc (R+ ; X) In addition, solutions depend continuously on initial data: there exists two constants k3 ∈ R, k4 ≥ such that u(t) − v(t) X ≤ M (t, u0 , v0 )ek3 t u0 − v0 Here M (t, u0 , v0 ) := exp k4 e2γ+ t ( u0 X ∨ v0 ∀ u0 , v0 ∈ X X X) (4.5) REMARK 4.1 The coefficient on the right-hand side of (4.5) seems to be a little bit complicated So it may be meaningful to describe a particular case of (4.5) Suppose that γ ≤ 0, and introduce the ball BL := {v ∈ X; v X ≤ L} Setting U (t)u0 := u(t) and log M := k4 L2 , we have U (t)u0 − U (t)v0 X ≤ M ek3 t u0 − v0 X ∀ t ≥ 0, ∀ u0 , v0 ∈ BL This implies by (4.4) that {U (t)} forms a Lipschitz semigroup on the closed convex subset BL in the sense of Kobayashi-Tanaka [19] OUTLINE OF PROOFS Let u0 ∈ D(ϕ) ∩ D(ψ) and ε > Then under condition (A2) there exists a unique strong solution uε to (ACP)ε such that Copyright © 2006 Taylor & Francis Group, LLC Strong L2 -wellposedness in the complex Ginzburg-Landau equation 279 for all T > 0, uε ∈ C 0,1/2 ([0, T ]; X) ([29, Proposition 3.1(i)]) In addition we have uε (t) X ≤ eγt u0 X ∀ t ≥ 0, t t 2λ (4.6) ϕ(uε (s)) ds + qκ ψ(Jε uε (s)) ds ≤ 2γ+ t e u0 2 X, ∀ t ≥ 0; (4.7) note that Re ((κ + iβ)∂ψε (uε ), uε ) ≥ κRe (∂ψ(Jε uε ), Jε uε ) = qκψ(Jε uε ) (see [29, Lemma 3.2]) Next, (4.7) yields under conditions (A2) and (A3) that ϕ(uε (t)) ≤ eK(t,u0 ) ϕ(u0 ), t Suε (s) X ds k1 := 2γ+ + (1 − θ) c1 (4.8) K(t,u0 ) e ϕ(u0 ), λ ≤ Here K(t, u0 ) := k1 t + k2 e2γ+ t u0 ∀ t ≥ 0, X, ∀ t ≥ (4.9) with κ2 + β , k2 := θ c1 κ2 + β /(2qκ) Therefore we see from (4.6), (4.9), (A4) and (ACPeq)ε that {Suε }, {∂ψε (uε )}, {Dt uε } are bounded in L2 (0, T ; X) (4.10) As a consequence {uε } is equicontinuous on [0, T ]: uε (t) − uε (s) X ≤ Dt uε L2 (0,T ;X) |t − s|1/2 , ∀ t, s ∈ [0, T ] (4.11) In view of condition (A1) (4.8) yields that for every t ∈ [0, T ] the family {uε (t)}ε>0 is relatively compact in X Therefore, applying Ascoli’s theorem, we can find a function u ∈ C([0, ∞); X) as the limit of a convergent subsequence {uεn } selected from {uε } such that u = lim uεn in C([0, T ]; X), n→∞ ∀ T > 0, (4.12) with u(0) = u0 ∈ D(ϕ) ∩ D(ψ) Letting n → ∞ in (4.11) with ε replaced with εn , we have u ∈ C 0,1/2 ([0, T ]; X) for any T > Since uεn − Jεn uεn = εn ∂ψεn (uεn ), (4.10) yields that u = lim Jεn uεn in L2 (0, T ; X), n→∞ ∀ T > (4.13) Since S, Dt are weakly closed and ∂ψ is demi-closed, we see from (4.12), (4.13) and (4.10) that Suεn → Su, Dt uεn → Dt u and ∂ψεn (uεn ) = ∂ψ(Jεn uεn ) → ∂ψ(u) as n → ∞ weakly in L2 (0, T ; X) Therefore, we can conclude that u is a strong solution to (ACP) (for details see [29, Section 4]) Copyright © 2006 Taylor & Francis Group, LLC 280 N Okazawa Here we want to mention two inequalities for strong solutions u to (ACP): t 2λ t ϕ(u(s)) ds + qκ tϕ(u(t)) + ψ(u(s)) ds ≤ λ t s Su(s) X ds ≤ K(t, e 4λ u0 2γ+ t e u0 X )+2γ+ t u0 X, ∀ t ≥ 0, (4.14) X, ∀ t ≥ 0, (4.15) which will be essential in the proof of Theorem 4.2 To prove (4.15) begin with (4.1) with ∂ψε and Jε u, respectively, replaced with ∂ψ and u (by letting ε ↓ 0) (Then an error in the proof of (4.15) in [30] is easily corrected.) The important role of condition (A5) in Theorem 4.2 is to derive (4.5) as a consequence of (4.14) and to guarantee the uniqueness of strong solutions to (ACP) The constants kj (j = 3, 4) in (4.5) are given in almost the same form as for k1 and k2 : k3 := γ + (1 − θ) c3 κ2 + β , k4 := θ c3 κ2 + β /(2qκ) At the same time (4.5) enables us to extend the set of initial data from D(ϕ)∩ D(ψ) to its closure D(ϕ) ∩ D(ψ) = X The situation is completely similar to the inference in Theorem 3.2 In fact, (4.15) implies that Su L2 (T −1 ,T ;X) is bounded for all T > Finally, we shall verify (4.1) and (4.2) when S = ∂ϕ, B = ∂ψ are given by (2.1), (2.2), respectively First we state a formula for the derivative of the function Jε u by which we can carry out integration by parts in the computation of (Su, ∂ψε (u))L2 LEMMA 4.1 For ε ∈ [0, ∞) and x ∈ Ω put uε (x) := (Jε u)(x) = (1 + ε∂ψ)−1 u(x), u(x), ε > 0, ε = (a) ([29, Lemma 6.1 with p = 2]) If u ∈ H01 (Ω), then uε ∈ H01 (Ω) (as a function of x), with  q−2  ε > 0, |uε |q−4 uε Re(uε ∇x u), ∇x u − ε q−2 Jac (4.16) ∇x uε = + ε|uε |  ∇x u, ε = 0, where Jac := (1 + ε|uε |q−2 )(1 + ε(q − 1)|uε |q−2 ) is the Jacobian determinant (b) ([31]) If u ∈ D(∂ψ), then uε ∈ C ([0, E];

in the proof we have used the convexity of the function z → |z|q , which is a simple consequence of Hăolders inequality (1/q + 1/q = 1): |sz + (1 − s)w|q ≤ (s|z| + (1 − s)|w|)q = s1/q |z| · s1/q + (1 − s)1/q |w| · (1 − s)1/q ≤ (s|z|q + (1 − s)|w|q )q/q (s + (1 − s))q/q = s|z|q + (1 − s)|w|q Copyright © 2006 Taylor & Francis Group, LLC q Strong L2 -wellposedness in the complex Ginzburg-Landau equation 283 Then we can prove the inequality for u, v ∈ L2(q−1) (Ω) ∩ H01 (Ω) ⊂ Lq (Ω): (q − 1)−1 (|u|q−2 u − |v|q−2 v, u − v)L2 |u(x) − v(x)|2 ≤ Ω v ≤ u = q q ψ(u) + ψ(v) 2 q Lq + 1 |u(x)|q + |v(x)|q 2 q Lq (q−2)/q (q−2)/q u−v u−v (q−2)/q dx Lq Lq This is nothing but (4.18) (in Verification of (4.1)) with uε Lq = (qψ(uε ))1/q 1/q and ∇u Lq replaced with (q/2)(ψ(u)+ψ(v)) and u−v Lq , respectively From now on we can compute in the same way as in the proof of (4.1) to conclude (4.2); in this case we can apply the Gagliardo-Nirenberg inequality itself (see Tanabe [33, Section 3.4] or Giga-Giga [11, Section 6.1]): w Lq ≤C w 1−a L2 ∇w a L2 , ≤ a := N N ≤ − q (4.22) Therefore, the “θ” coincides with that in (4.1) This result seems to be parallel to the fact that (3.2) and (3.4) in Theorem 3.1 hold for the same tan ωq Development in the future As a concluding remark we want to mention the possibility to unify Theorems 3.2 and 4.2 (see Remark 1.1) Now we introduce the following seven conditions on S and ψ: (B1) ∃ q ∈ [2, ∞) such that ψ(ζu) = |ζ|q ψ(u) for u ∈ D(ψ) and ζ ∈ C with Re ζ > (B2) ∂ψ is sectorially-valued: ∃ cq > such that |Im(∂ψ(u)−∂ψ(v), u−v)| ≤ cq Re(∂ψ(u)−∂ψ(v), u−v) ∀ u, v ∈ D(∂ψ) (B3) For the same constant cq as in (B2), |Im(Su, ∂ψε (u))| ≤ cq Re(Su, ∂ψε (u)) ∀ u ∈ D(S) (B4) D(S) ⊂ D(∂ψ) and ∃ C1 > such that ∂ψ(u) ≤ C1 ( u + Su ) for u ∈ D(S) Copyright © 2006 Taylor & Francis Group, LLC 284 N Okazawa (B5) ∃ θ ∈ [0, 1]; ∀ η > ∃ C2 = C2 (η) > such that for u, v ∈ D(ϕ) ∩ D(ψ) and ε > 0, |Im(∂ψε (u) − ∂ψε (v), u − v)| ≤ ηϕ(u − v) + C2 ψ(u) + ψ(v) θ u − v (B6) ∀ η > ∃ C3 = C3 (η) > such that for u ∈ D(S) and ε > 0, |Im(Su, ∂ψε (u))| ≤ η Su + C3 ψ(u)θ ϕ(u), where θ ∈ [0, 1] is the same constant as in (B5) (B7) ∃ C4 > such that for u, v ∈ D(∂ψ) and ν, µ > 0, |Im(∂ψν (u) − ∂ψµ (u), v)| ≤ C4 |ν − µ| σ ∂ψ(u) + τ ∂ψ(v) , where σ, τ > are constants satisfying σ + τ = Using these conditions (partially or as a whole) we can assert THEOREM 5.1 ([31]) Let λ, κ ∈ R+ and α, β, γ ∈ R (I) (Accretive nonlinearity) Assume that |β|/κ ∈ [0, c−1 q ] and conditions (B1)− (B3) are satisfied Then for any initial value u0 ∈ D(ϕ) ∩ D(ψ) there exists a unique strong solution u ∈ C([0, ∞);

the verification of (B7) is based on Lemma 4.1 (b) Therefore the boundedness of Ω is not required when we apply Theorem 5.1 Part (II) to problem (CGL) REMARK 5.1 It is observed from (5.3) that K1 → γ and K2 → as |β| → c−1 q κ, that is, (5.2) coincides with (5.1) in this limit Acknowledgments The author expresses his hearty thanks to the organizers of the meeting, “Evolution Equations: Inverse and Direct Problems,” especially Angelo Favini and Alfredo Lorenzi, for giving him a chance to contribute to this volume References [1] H Amann: Nonhomogeneous linear and quasilinear elliptic and parabolic boundary value problems, Function Spaces, Differential Operators and Nonlinear Analysis (Friedrichroda, 1992), 9–126, TeubnerText Math., 123, Teubner, Stuttgart, 1993 [2] H Amann: Linear and Quasilinear Parabolic Problems, I: Abstract Linear Theory, Monographs in Math 89, Birkhăauser Verlag, Basel and Boston, 1995 [3] H Amann: On the strong solvability of the Navier-Stokes equations, J Math Fluid Mech (2000), 16–98 [4] I.S Aranson and L Kramer: The world of the complex Ginzburg-Landau equation, Reviews of Modern Physics 74 (2002), 99–143 [5] V Barbu: Nonlinear semigroups and differential equations in Banach spaces, Noordhoff International Publishing, Leyden, The Netherlands, 1976 [6] P Bechouche and A Jă ungel: Inviscid limits for the complex GinzburgLandau equation, Comm Math Phys 214 (2000), 201–226 Copyright © 2006 Taylor & Francis Group, LLC 286 N Okazawa [7] H Br´ezis: Operateurs maximaux monotones et semi-groupes de contractions dans les espaces de Hilbert, Mathematics Studies 5, North-Holland, Amsterdam, 1973 [8] H Br´ezis: Analyse Fonctionnelle, th´eorie et applications, Masson, Paris, 1983 [9] H Br´ezis and A Friedman: Nonlinear parabolic equations involving measures as initial conditions, J Math Pures et Appl 62 (1983), 73–97 [10] V.V Chepyzhov and M.I Vishik: Attractors for equations of Mathematical Physics, Colloquium Publications 49, Amer Math Soc., Providence, 2002 [11] Y Giga and M Giga: Nonlinear partial differential equations, asymptotic behavior of solutions and self-similar solutions, Kyoritsu Shuppan, Tokyo, 1999 (in Japanese);
