# A functional-analytic technique for the study of analytic solutions of PDEs

• A functional-analytic method is used to study the existence and the uniqueness of bounded, analytic and entire complex solutions of partial differential equations. As a benchmark problem, this method is applied to the nonlinear Benjamin--Bona--Mahony equation and the associated to this, linear equation. The predicted solutions are in power series form and two concrete examples are given for specific initial conditions.
