### Abstract elliptic and parabolic systems with applications to problems in cylindrical domains

#### Abstract

We consider problems for quite general second-order abstract elliptic and corresponding parabolic equations on the interval $[0,1]$ and the rectangle $[0,T]\times [0,1]$, respectively. $R$-boundedness estimates of solutions of abstract boundary-value problems for elliptic equations with a parameter are established, in contrast to standard norm-bounded estimates. The results are applied to obtain $L^p$-maximal regularity for corresponding parabolic systems. In applications, the coefficient $A(x)$ of the solution $u$ can be $2m$-order elliptic operators with suitable boundary conditions, while the coefficient $B(x)$ of the first-order derivative of the solution $D_xu$ can be interpreted as an $m$-order differential operator. The corresponding applications to PDEs are presented.
