We study the well-posedness of the third order degenerate differential equations with infinite delay$$(P_3): (Mu)'''(t) + (Lu)''(t) + (Bu)'(t)= Au(t) + \int _{-\infty }^t a(t-s)Au(s)ds + f(t){\text{ on }}[0, 2\pi ]$$in Lebesgue–Bochner spaces $$L^p(\mathbb{T};\; X)$$ and periodic Besov spaces $$B_{p,\,q}^s(\mathbb{T};\; X)$$, where A, B, L and M are closed linear operators on a Banach space X satisfying $$D(A)\subset D(B)\cap D(L)\cap D(M)$$ and $$ a\in L^1(\mathbb{R}_+)$$. Using known operator-valued Fourier multiplier theorems, we give necessary and sufficient conditions for $$(P_3)$$ to be $$L^p$$-well-posed(or $$B_{p,q}^s$$-well-posed). Concrete examples are also given to support our main abstract results.
