Second order abstract differential equations with singular coefficients

Summary We study a large class of second order linear abstract differential equations, whose coefficients can be singular. In the framework of suitable « weighted » spaces, we prove some existence and uniqueness results for generalized and ordinary solutions of initial value problems for such equations.This work was partially supported by the G.N.A.F.A. and the Istituto di Analisi Numerica of the C.N.R. (Italy).
