Abstract:
For an operator-differential equation of the form $y^{(m)}(z) = Ay(z)$, where $A$ is a closed linear operator on a Banach space over the field of $p$-adic numbers, conditions on the initial data are given that are necessary and sufficient for the Cauchy problem to be well-posed in the class of locally analytic vector-valued functions. The result is illustrated by $p$-adic partial differential equations.
