Abstract

In this work, we study the initial value problem associated with an abstract integrodifferential equation in interpolation scales. We prove local-in-time existence, uniqueness, continuation, and a blow-up alternative for regular mild solutions to the problem. Additionally, we apply this theory to the Navier-Stokes equations with hereditary viscosity, taking initial data in the scale of fractional power spaces associated with the Stokes operator. We also explore reaction-diffusion problems with memory, considering the effects of super-linear and gradient-type nonlinearities, and initial data in Lebesgue and Besov spaces, respectively.
