Generation of the integrated semigroups by superelliptic differential operators

Let A be a superelliptic differential operator of order 2m introduced by E.B. Davies [E.B. Davies, Uniformly elliptic operators with measurable coefficients, J. Funct. Anal. 132 (1995) 141-169]. In the case of 2m>N, he obtained the upper Gaussian bound of the integral kernel representing (e−zA)_z∈C+ and the estimates of the Lp-operator norm of the semigroup for all p∈[1,∞). The purpose of the present paper is to show that −i(A+k) (for some constant k>0) generates an integrated semigroup on Lα,p (weighted Lp space) and lp(Lα,q). To prove this we need norm estimates of (e−zA)_z∈C+ on each of these spaces. Also we get another norm estimate of (e−zA)_z∈C+ on Lp when 2m>N without using the integral kernel. This norm estimate is better than that in [E.B. Davies, Uniformly elliptic operators with measurable coefficients, J. Funct. Anal. 132 (1995) 141-169] and gives a better “times of the integration” of the integrated semigroup.
