Linear relations as generators of semigroups of operators

The theory of semigroups of bounded linear operators is based on the spectral theory of linear relations (multivalued linear operators), which act as generators of operator semigroups.

Differential equations in spaces of abstract stochastic distributions

Stochastic Itô equations with additive and multiplicative noise in separable Hilbert spaces are studied by reducing them to differential-operator equations in spaces of generalized Hilbert space-valued random variables. Results on the existence and uniqueness of solutions in these spaces are obtained by using the S-transform technique and methods of the theory of semigroups of linear operators.     

Differential and Analytical Properties of Semigroups of Operators

We systematically analyze differential and analytical properties of various kinds of semigroups of linear operators, including (local) convoluted C-semigroups and ultradistribution semigroups. The study of differentiable integrated semigroups leans heavily on the unification of the approaches of Barbu (Ann Scuola Norm Sup Pisa 23:413–429, 1969) and Pazy (Semigroups of linear operators and applications to partial differential equations. Springer, Berlin, 1983). We furnish illustrative examples of operators which generate differentiable integrated semigroups, further analyze the analytic properties of solutions of the backwards heat equation, and prove that several introduced classes of differentiable semigroups persist under bounded ‘commuting’ perturbations.     

Intertwined evolution operators

We construct a convolution algebra of admissible homomorphisms defined on a ‘test space’ to demonstrate the fundamental role of convolution in the study of intertwined evolution operators of linear ordinary differential equations in Banach spaces and probability theory. The choice of test space makes the framework we present quite versatile. The applications include semigroups of linear operators, empathy, integrated semigroups and empathies and the convolution semigroups of probability theory.     

Generalizations of a Theorem of Datko and Pazy

This note gives necessary and sufficient conditions for exponential stability of semigroups of linear operators in Banach spaces. Generalizations of a well-known result due to Datko, Pazy and Neerven are obtained for the case of semigroups of operators that are not strongly continuous.     

The Gearhart-Prüss theorem for a class of degenerate semigroups of operators

We consider a class of semigroups of operators in Hilbert space whose generators are linear relations. An analog of the Gearhart-Prüss theorem for semigroups of operators from the class under consideration is obtained.     

Semilinear evolution equations with nonlinear constraints and applications

This paper deals with a general class of evolution problems for semilinear equations coupled with nonlinear constraints. Those constraints may contain compositions of nonlinear operators and unbounded linear operators, and hence the associated operators are not necessarily formulated in the form of continuous perturbations of linear operators. Accordingly, a family of equivalent norms is introduced to discuss 'quasidissipativity' in a local sense of the operators and a generation theory for nonlinear semigroups is employed to construct solution operators on bounded sets. It is a feature of our treatment that the resultant solution operators are obtained as nonlinear semigroups on the whole space which are not 'quasicontractive' but locally equi-Lipschitz continuous.

Inhomogeneous semigroups of commuting operators

The concepts of the homogeneously continuable semigroup of operators, and of infinitesimal and reproducing families of a semigroup, are introduced. The class of strongly continuous homogeneously continuable semigroups of commuting linear operators is discussed. This class contains in particular the class (C₀) of homogeneous semigroups. An analog of the Hill-Yosida theorem is proved for it.     

Linear Relations, Differential Inclusions, and Degenerate Semigroups

A generalized linear differential equation in a Banach space is studied. The construction of a phase space and solutions with the help of the spectral theory of linear operators, ergodic theorems, and degenerate semigroups of linear operators is carried out.     

Nonlinear semigroup approach to age structured proliferating cell population with inherited cycle length

This paper deals with a nonlinear semigroup approach to semilinear initial-boundary value problems which model nonlinear age structured proliferating cell population dynamics. The model involves age-dependence and cell cycle length, and boundary conditions may contain compositions of nonlinear functions and trace of solutions. Hence the associated operators are not necessarily formulated in the form of continuous perturbations of linear operators. A family of equivalent norms is introduced to discuss local quasidissipativity of the operators and a generation theory for nonlinear semigroups is employed to construct solution operators. The resultant solution operators are obtained as nonlinear semigroups which are not quasicontractive but locally equi-Lipschitz continuous.     

Local Controllability of Functional Integrodifferential Equations in Banach Space

In this paper, we establish a set of sufficient conditions for the local controllability of functional integrodifferential equations in Banach space. The results are obtained by using the methods of analytic semigroups, fractional powers of operators, and a fixed-point argument. These results generalize previous results on bounded linear operators to unbounded linear operators in which the equation involves a nonlinear delay term. An application to a partial integrodifferential equation is given.     

Differentiability of a convex semigroup on Rn

It is proved that each continuous semigroup {P(t)}_t≥0 of convex operators P(t):Rⁿ→Rⁿ is continuously differentiable with respect to t. This note represents a first step towards a better understanding of semigroups formed by convex operators. We establish the differentiability of a convex semigroup in the finite dimensional case, generalizing a basic result from linear semigroup theory. Our motivation for the study of semigroups of convex operators comes from the theory of Markov decision processes. In [1] and in [2] it was shown that the maximum reward of these processes can be described by a certain nonlinear semigroup. The nonlinear operators are defined as suprema of linear operators (plus a constant), hence they are convex operators. It seems that the convexity assumption keeps its smoothing influence even in the infinite dimensional situation. We hope to discuss this in a future paper.     

Convergence of iterates of genuine and ultraspherical Durrmeyer operators to the limiting semigroup: -estimates

In the present note a general inequality for the degree of approximation of semigroups by iterates of commuting bounded linear operators on Banach spaces is given. Combining this with a recent quantitative Voronovskaja-type result applications to Durrmeyer operators with ultraspherical weights are derived. Our considerations include the genuine Bernstein–Durrmeyer operators.     

Overiterated Linear Operators and Asymptotic Behaviour of Semigroups

The results provided hereby are related to the asymptotic behaviour of certain strongly continuous semigroups, which may be expressed in terms of iterates of positive linear operators, in the sense of Altomare’s theory. We present some applications to concrete cases involving continuous and discrete type operators, namely the Beta and the Stancu operators.      

Weighted norm inequalities for convolution operators and links with the Weiss Conjecture

We study convolution operators on weighted Lebesgue spaces and obtain weight characterisations for boundedness of these operators with certain kernels. Our main result is Theorem 3 which enables us to obtain results for certain kernel functions supported on bounded intervals; in particular we get a direct proof of the known characterisations for Steklov operators in Section 3 by using the weighted Hardy inequality. Our methods also enable us to obtain new results for other kernel functions in Section 4. In Section 5 we demonstrate that these convolution operators are related to operators arising from the Weiss Conjecture (for scalar-valued observation functionals) in linear systems theory, so that results on convolution operators provide elementary examples of nearly bounded semigroups not satisfying the Weiss Conjecture. Also we apply results on the Weiss Conjecture for contraction semigroups to obtain boundedness results for certain convolution operators.     

A Hille-Yosida theorem for Bi-continuous semigroups

In order to treat one-parameter semigroups of linear operators on Banach spaces which are not strongly continuous, we introduce the concept of bi-continuous semigroups defined on Banach spaces with an additional locally convex topology . On such spaces we define bi-continuous semigroups as semigroups consisting of bounded linear operators which are locally bi-equicontinuous for and such that the orbit maps are -continuous. We then apply the result to semigroups induced by flows on a metric space as studied by J. R. Dorroh and J. W. Neuberger.
