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.
