We assume that the eigenvalues are low regular, in the sense that they are Holder with respect to t. In the past these kind of systems have been investigated by Yuzawa [Yuz05] and Kajitani [KY06] by employing semigroup techniques (Tanabe-Sobolevski method). Here, under a certain uniform property of the eigenvalues, we improve the Gevrey well-posedness result of [Yuz05] and we obtain well-posedness in spaces of ultradistributions as well. Our main idea is a reduction of the system to block Sylvester form and then the formulation of suitable energy estimates inspired by the treatment of scalar equations in [GR12]. %I Loughborough University
