Let u be a bounded slowly oscillating mild solution of an inhomogeneous Cauchy problem, u̇ (t) = Au (t) + f (t), on R or R+, where A is a closed operator such that σap (A) ∩iR is countable, and the Carleman or Laplace transform of f has a continuous extension to an open subset of the imaginary axis with countable complement. It is shown that u is (asymptotically) almost periodic if u is totally ergodic (or if X does not contain c0 in the case of a problem on R). Similar results hold for second-order Cauchy problems and Volterra equations.
