In [4] Carroll and the author have treated the following problem

(1)

where Λ is a closed densely defined self-adjoint operator in a separable Hilbert space H with (Λu, u) ≥ c ‖u‖2, c > 0, Λ-1 ∊ L(H) (L(E, F) is the space of continuous linear maps from E to F; in particular, L(H) = L(H, H)), a(t) > 0 for t > 0 a(0) = 0 and S(t), R(t), B(t)L(H).
