This paper is concerned with the measure of noncompactness in the spaces of continuous functions and semilinear functional differential equations with nonlocal conditions in Banach spaces. The relationship between the Hausdorff measure of noncompactness of intersections and the modulus of equicontinuity is studied for some subsets related to the semigroup of linear operators in Banach spaces. The existence of mild solutions is obtained for a class of nonlocal semilinear functional differential equations without the assumption of compactness or equicontinuity on the associated semigroups of linear operators.

A new method for some advection equations is derived and analyzed, where the finite element method is constructed by using spline. A proper spline subspace is discussed for satisfying boundary conditions. Meanwhile, in order to get more accuracy solutions, spline method is connected with finite element method. Furthermore, the stability and convergence are discussed rigorously. Two numerical experiments are also presented to verify the theoretical analysis.
