Regularity of finite-dimensional realizations for Evolution Equations

Abstract

We show that a continuous local semiflow of $C^k$-maps on a finite-dimensional $C^k$-manifold M can be embedded into a local $C^k$-flow on M under some weak (necessary) assumptions. This result is applied to an open problem in [fil/tei:01]. We prove that finite-dimensional realizations for interest rate models are highly regular objects, namely given by submanifolds M of $D(A^{\infty})$, where A is the generator of a strongly continuous semigroup.
