Asymptotic Behaviour of C0–Semigroups with Bounded Local Resolvents

Let {T(t)}_t≥0 be a C₀–semigroup on a Banach space X with generator A, and let H^∞_T be the space of all x ∈ X such that the local resolvent λ ↦ R(λ, A)x has a bounded holomorphic extension to the right half–plane. For the class of integrable functions ϕ on 0, ∞) whose Fourier transforms are integrable, we construct a functional calculus ϕ ↦ T_ϕ, as operators on H^∞_T. Weshow that each orbit T(·)T_ϕx is bounded and uniformly continuous, and T(t)T_ϕx → 0 weakly as t → ∞, and we give a new proof that ∥T(t)R(μ, A)x∥ = O(t). We also show that ∥T(t)T_ϕx∥ → 0 when T is sun –reflexive, and that ∥T(t)R(μ, A)x∥ = O(ln t) when T is a positive semigroup on a normal ordered space X and x is a positive vector in H^∞_T.
