Global wellposedness theorems are established for a class of abstract Cauchy initial value problems and a class of abstract Volterra equations which have a linear semigroup as a convolution kernel. These existence theorems are used to show that a class of nonlinear operators and a class of perturbed linear operators are m-accretive. The m-accretiveness results are used in turn to represent solutions to the differential and integral equations.
