We establish a composition theorem of Stepanov almost periodic functions, and, with its help, a composition theorem of Stepanov-like pseudo almost periodic functions is obtained In addition,
we apply our composition theorem to study the existence and uniqueness of pseudo-almost periodic solutions to a class of abstract semilinear evolution equation in a Banach space Our results complement a recent work due to Diagana2008
1 Introduction
Recently, in 1, 2, Diagana introduced the concept of Stepanov-like pseudo-almost periodicity, which is a generalization of the classical notion of pseudo-almost periodicity, and established some properties for Stepanov-like pseudo-almost periodic functions Moreover, Diagana studied the existence of pseudo-almost periodic solutions to the abstract semilinear
evolution equation ut Atut ft, ut The existence theorems obtained in 1,2 are
interesting since f ·, u is only Stepanov-like pseudo-almost periodic, which is different from
earlier works In addition, Diagana et al.3 introduced and studied Stepanov-like weighted pseudo-almost periodic functions and their applications to abstract evolution equations
On the other hand, due to the work of4 by N’Gu´er´ekata and Pankov, Stepanov-like almost automorphic problems have widely been investigated We refer the reader to5 11 for some recent developments on this topic
Since Stepanov-like almost-periodic almost automorphic type functions are not necessarily continuous, the study of such functions will be more difficult considering complexity and more interesting in terms of applications
Trang 2Very recently, in12, Li and Zhang obtained a new composition theorem of Stepanov-like pseudo-almost periodic functions; the authors in13 established a composition theorem
of vector-valued Stepanov almost-periodic functions Motivated by2,12,13, in this paper,
we will make further study on the composition theorems of Stepanov almost-periodic functions and Stepanov-like pseudo-almost periodic functions As one will see, our main results extend and complement some results in2,13
Throughout this paper, letR be the set of real numbers, let mesE be the Lebesgue measure for any subset E ⊂ R, and X, Y be two arbitrary real Banach spaces Moreover, we
assume that 1≤ p < ∞ if there is no special statement First, let us recall some definitions and
basic results of almost periodic functions, Stepanov almost periodic functions, pseudo-almost periodic functions, and Stepanov-like pseudo-almost periodic functionsfor more details, see

Definition 1.1 A set E ⊂ R is called relatively dense if there exists a number l > 0 such that
Definition 1.2 A continuous function f : R → X is called almost periodic if for each ε > 0 there exists a relatively dense set P ε, f ⊂ R such that
sup
t∈R
f t τ − ft< ε, ∀τ ∈ P
ε, f
We denote the set of all such functions by APR, X or APX.
Definition 1.3 A continuous function f : R × X → Y is called almost periodic in t uniformly for x ∈ X if, for each ε > 0 and each compact subset K ⊂ X, there exists a relatively dense set
P ε, f, K ⊂ R
sup
t∈R
f t τ, x − ft, x< ε, ∀τ ∈ P
ε, f, K
We denote by AP R × X, Y the set of all such functions.
Definition 1.4 The Bochner transform f b t, s, t ∈ R, s ∈ 0, 1, of a function ft on R, with values in X, is defined by
Definition 1.5 The space BS p X of all Stepanov bounded functions, with the exponent p, consists of all measurable functions f on R with values in X such that
f S p : sup
t∈R

t fτ p dτ
1/p
It is obvious that L p R; X ⊂ BS p X ⊂ L p
locR; X and BS p X ⊂ BS q X whenever
p ≥ q ≥ 1.
Trang 3Definition 1.6 A function f ∈ BS p X is called Stepanov almost periodic if f b ∈
AP L p 0, 1; X; that is, for all ε > 0, there exists a relatively dense set Pε, f ⊂ R such
that
sup
t∈R
1 0
ft s τ − ft s p ds
1/p
< ε, ∀τ ∈ Pε, f
We denote the set of all such functions by AP S p R, X or APS p X.
Remark 1.7 It is clear that AP X ⊂ APS p X ⊂ APS q X for p ≥ q ≥ 1.
Definition 1.8 A function f : p Y, for each
u ∈ X, is called Stepanov almost periodic in t ∈ R uniformly for u ∈ X if, for each ε > 0 and each compact set K ⊂ X, there exists a relatively dense set Pε, f, K ⊂ R such that
sup
t∈R

ds
1/p
< ε, 1.7
for each τ ∈ Pε, f, K and each u ∈ K We denote by APS p R × X, Y the set of all such
functions
It is also easy to show that AP S p R × X, Y ⊂ APS q R × X, Y for p ≥ q ≥ 1.
Throughout the rest of this paper, let C b R, X resp., C b R × X, Y be the space of
bounded continuousresp., jointly bounded continuous functions with supremum norm, and

uniformly for x in any compact set K ⊂ X.
Definition 1.9 A function f ∈ C b R, X C b R × X, Y is called pseudo-almost periodic if
with g ∈ APXAPR × X, Y and ϕ ∈ PAP0R, XPAP0R × X, Y We denote by
P AP XPAPR × X, Y the set of all such functions.
It is well-known that P APX is a closed subspace of C b R, X, and thus PAPX is a
Banach space under the supremum norm
Trang 4Definition 1.10 A function f ∈ BS p X is called Stepanov-like pseudo-almost periodic if it can be decomposed as f g h with g b ∈ APR, L p 0, 1; X and h b ∈ PAP0R, L p 0, 1; X.
We denote the set of all such functions by P AP S p R, X or PAPS p X.
It follows from2 that PAPX ⊂ PAPS p X for all 1 ≤ p < ∞.
Definition 1.11 A function F : p Y, for each
u ∈ X, is called Stepanov-like pseud-almost periodic in t ∈ R uniformly for u ∈ X if it can be decomposed as F GH with G b ∈ APR×X, L p 0, 1; Y and H b ∈ PAP0R×X, L p 0, 1; Y.
We denote by P AP S p R × X, Y the set of all such functions.
Next, let us recall some notations about evolution family and exponential dichotomy For more details, we refer the reader to16
Definition 1.12 A set {Ut, s : t ≥ s, t, s ∈ R} of bounded linear operator on X is called an
evolution family if
a Us, s I, Ut, s Ut, rUr, s for t ≥ r ≥ s and t, r, s ∈ R,
b {τ, σ ∈ R2: τ
Definition 1.13 An evolution family U t, s is called hyperbolic or has exponential
dichotomy if there are projections Pt, t ∈ R, being uniformly bounded and strongly
continuous in t, and constants M, ω > 0 such that
a Ut, sPs PtUt, s for all t ≥ s,
b the restriction U Q t, s : QsX → QtX is invertible for all t ≥ s and we set
U Q s, t U Q t, s−1,
c Ut, sPs ≤ Me −ωt−sandU Q s, tQt ≤ Me −ωt−s for all t ≥ s,
where Q : I − P We call that
Γt, s :

is the Green’s function corresponding to Ut, s and P·.
Remark 1.14 Exponential dichotomy is a classical concept in the study of long-term behaviour
of evolution equations; see, for example,16 It is easy to see that

2 Main Results
Throughout the rest of this paper, for r ≥ 1, we denote by Lr R × X, X the set of all the functions f : R × X → X satisfying that there exists a function L f ∈ BS rR such that
f t, u − ft, v ≤ L f tu − v, ∀t ∈ R, ∀u, v ∈ X, 2.1
Trang 5and, for any compact set K ⊂ X, we denote by APS p
K R × X, Y the set of all the functions
f ∈ APS p R × X, Y such that 1.7 is replaced by

In addition, we denote by · p the norm of L p 0, 1; X and L p 0, 1; R.
f ∈ APS p
K R × X, X.
Proof For all ε > 0, there exist x1, , x k ∈ K such that

Since f ∈ APS p R × X, X, for the above ε > 0, there exists a relatively dense set Pε ⊂ R
such that
f t τ ·, u − ft ·, u
p < ε
for all τ ∈ Pε, t ∈ R, and u ∈ K On the other hand, since f ∈ L p R × X, X, there exists a function L f ∈ BS pR such that 2.1 holds
Fix t ∈ R, τ ∈ Pε For each u ∈ K, there exists iu ∈ {1, 2, , k} such that u−x i u <
ε Thus, we have
f t s τ, u − ft s, u

for each u ∈ K and s ∈ 0, 1, which gives that

Theorem 2.2 Assume that the following conditions hold:
a f ∈ APS p R × X, X with p > 1, and f ∈ L r R × X, X with r ≥ max{p, p/p − 1}.
b x ∈ APS p X, and there exists a set E ⊂ R with mes E 0 such that
is compact in X.
Then there exists q ∈ 1, p such that f·, x· ∈ APS q X.
Proof Since r ≥ p/p − 1, there exists q ∈ 1, p such that r pq/p − q Let

Then p, q > 1 and 1/p 1/q 1 On the other hand, since f ∈ L r R × X, X, there is a function L f ∈ BS rR such that 2.1 holds
It is easy to see that f·, x· is measurable By using 2.1, for each t ∈ R, we have

Thus, f ·, x· ∈ BS q X.
Trang 7Next, let us show that f ·, x· ∈ APS q X ByLemma 2.1, f ∈ APS p
K R × X, X In addition, we have x ∈ APS p X Thus, for all ε > 0, there exists a relatively dense set Pε ⊂ R

f t s, u ≤ ft s,u − ft s,x i ft s,xi ≤ Lf t sε f t s, x i

for all t ∈ R and s ∈ 0, 1 Thus, we get

u ∈K
f t s, u ≤ L f t sε k

f t s, x i, ∀t ∈ R, ∀s ∈ 0, 1, 2.16 which yields that

On the other hand, since f b ∈ PAP0R × X, L p 0, 1; X, for the above ε > 0, there exists T0> 0
such that, for all T > T0,

Hence, f ∈ PAP0R, R.
Theorem 2.4 Assume that p > 1 and the following conditions hold:
a f g h ∈ PAPS p R × X, X with g b ∈ APR × X, L p 0, 1; X and h b ∈ PAP0R ×
X, L p 0, 1; X Moreover, f, g ∈ L r R × X, X with r ≥ max{p, p/p − 1};
b x y z ∈ PAPS p X with y b ∈ APR, L p 0, 1; X and z b ∈ PAP0R, L p 0, 1; X,
and there exists a set E ⊂ R with mes E 0 such that
is compact in X.
Then there exists q ∈ 1, p such that f·, x· ∈ PAPS q X.

It follows fromTheorem 2.2that H ∈ APS q X, that is, H b ∈ APR, L q 0, 1; X.
