Dirichlet forms for general Wentzell boundary conditions, analytic semigroups, and cosine operator functions.
A semigroup analogue of the Fonf-Lin-Wojtaszczyk ergodic characterization of reflexive Banach spaces with a basis
In analogy to a recent result by V. Fonf, M. Lin, and P. Wojtaszczyk, we prove the following characterizations of a Banach space X with a basis. (i) X is finite-dimensional if and only if every bounded, uniformly continuous, mean ergodic semigroup on X is uniformly mean ergodic. (ii) X is reflexive if and only if every bounded strongly continuous semigroup is mean ergodic if and only if every bounded uniformly continuous semigroup on X is mean ergodic.
Qualitative properties of coupled parabolic systems of evolution equations
We apply functional analytical and variational methods in order to study well-posedness and qualitative properties of evolution equations on product Hilbert spaces. To this aim we introduce an algebraic formalism for matrices of sesquilinear mappings. We apply our results to parabolic problems of different nature: a coupled diffusive system arising in neurobiology, a strongly damped wave equation, and a heat equation with dynamic boundary conditions.
