Beschreibung:
<jats:p>We consider Fourier multiplier systems on Rn with components belonging to the standard Hörmander class S1,0mRn, but with limited regularity. Using a notion of parameter-ellipticity with respect to a subsector Λ⊂C (introduced by Denk, Saal, and Seiler) we show the generation of both C∞ semigroups and analytic semigroups (in a particular case) on the Sobolev spaces WpkRn,Cq with k∈N0, 1≤p<∞ and q∈N. For the proofs, we modify and improve a crucial estimate from Denk, Saal and Seiler, on the inverse matrix of the symbol (see Lemma 2). As examples, we apply the theory to solve the heat equation, a linear thermoelastic plate equation, a structurally damped plate equation, and a generalized plate equation, all in the whole space, in the frame of Sobolev spaces.</jats:p>
