Non-autonomous semilinear fractional evolution equations: well-posedness and ultracontractivity results

Abstract We consider a time-fractional semilinear parabolic abstract Cauchy problem for a time-dependent sectorial operator A ( t ) which satisfies the Acquistapace–Terreni conditions. We first prove local existence results for the mild solution of the problem at hand. Then we prove, under suitable assumptions on the initial datum, that the solution is also global in time. This is achieved by proving ultracontractivity estimates for the fractional evolution families associated with the operator A ( t ).
