In this paper we study the question whether $A^{-1}$ is the infinitesimal generator of a bounded C₀-semigroup if A generates a bounded C₀-semigroup. If the semigroup generated by A is analytic and sectorially bounded, then the same holds for the semigroup generated by $A^{-1}$. However, we construct a contraction semigroup with growth bound minus infinity for which $A^{-1}$ does not generate a bounded semigroup. Using this example we construct an infinitesimal generator of a bounded semigroup for which its inverse does...

In this paper equivalent conditions for exact observability of diagonal systems with a one-dimensional output operator are given. One of these equivalent conditions is the conjecture of Russell and Weiss (1994). The other conditions are given in terms of the eigenvalues and the Fourier coefficients of the system data.

In this paper we show that from an estimate of the form $su{p}_{t\ge 0}\left|\right|C\left(t\right)-cos\left(at\right)I\left|\right|<1$, we can conclude that C(t) equals cos(at)I. Here ${\left(C\left(t\right)\right)}_{t\ge 0}$ is a strongly continuous cosine family on a Banach space.

We show that the growth rates of solutions of the abstract differential equations ẋ(t) = Ax(t), $ẋ\left(t\right)=A^{-1}x\left(t\right)$, and the difference equation $x_d(n+1)=(A+I){(A-I)}^{-1}{x}_d\left(n\right)$ are closely related. Assuming that A generates an exponentially stable semigroup, we show that on a general Banach space the lowest growth rate of the semigroup ${\left(e^{A^{-1}t}\right)}_{t\ge 0}$ is O(∜t), and for $\left((A+I){(A-I)}^{-1}\right)ⁿ$ it is O(∜n). The similarity in growth holds for all Banach spaces. In particular, for Hilbert spaces the best estimates are O(log(t)) and O(log(n)), respectively. Furthermore, we give conditions...

We study a class of hyperbolic partial differential equations on a one dimensional spatial domain with control and observation at the boundary. Using the idea of feedback we show these systems are well-posed in the sense of Weiss and Salamon if and only if the state operator generates a -semigroup. Furthermore, we show that the corresponding transfer function is regular, , has a limit for going to infinity.
