Let Hi(i = 1, 2, …, n), be closed operators in a Banach space X. The generalised initialvalue problem
of the abstract Cauchy problem is studied. We show that the uniqueness of solution u: [0, T1] × [0, T2] × … × [0, Tn] → X of this n-abstract Cauchy problem is closely related to C0-n-parameter semigroups of bounded linear operators on X. Also as another application of C0-n-parameter semigroups, we prove that many n-parameter initial value problems cannot have a unique solution for some initial values.
