Given a strongly continuous semigroup ${\left(S\left(t\right)\right)}_{t\ge 0}$ on a Banach space X with generator A and an element f ∈ D(A²) satisfying $\left|\right|S\left(t\right)f\left|\right|\le e^{-\omega t}\left|\right|f\left|\right|$ and $\left|\right|S\left(t\right)A²f\left|\right|\le e^{-\omega t}\left|\right|A²f\left|\right|$ for all t ≥ 0 and some ω > 0, we derive a Landau type inequality for ||Af|| in terms of ||f|| and ||A²f||. This inequality improves on the usual Landau inequality that holds in the case ω = 0.

Let $\left(T_t\right)$ be a C₀ semigroup with generator A on a Banach space X and let be an operator ideal, e.g. the class of compact, Hilbert-Schmidt or trace class operators. We show that the resolvent R(λ,A) of A belongs to if and only if the integrated semigroup $S_t:={\int }_0^t{T}_{s}ds$ belongs to . For analytic semigroups, $S_t\in$ implies $T_t\in$, and in this case we give precise estimates for the growth of the -norm of $T_t$ (e.g. the trace of $T_t$) in terms of the resolvent growth and the imbedding D(A) ↪ X.

Let be a locally compact Hausdorff space. Let $A_i$, i = 0,1,...,N, be generators of Feller semigroups in C₀() with related Feller processes $X_i=X_i\left(t\right),t\ge 0$ and let ${\alpha }_i$, i = 0,...,N, be non-negative continuous functions on with ${\sum }_{i=0}^N{\alpha }_i=1$. Assume that the closure A of ${\sum }_{k=0}^N{\alpha }_k{A}_k$ defined on ${\bigcap }_{i=0}^N\left(A_i\right)$ generates a Feller semigroup T(t), t ≥ 0 in C₀(). A natural interpretation of a related Feller process X = X(t), t ≥ 0 is that it evolves according to the following heuristic rules: conditional on being at a point p ∈ , with probability...

We give sufficient conditions on an operator space E and on a semigroup of operators on a von Neumann algebra M to obtain a bounded analytic or R-analytic semigroup (${\left(T\otimes I{d}_E\right)}_{t\ge 0}$ on the vector valued noncommutative $L^p$-space $L^p(M,E)$. Moreover, we give applications to the $H^{\infty }\left({\Sigma }_{\theta }\right)$ functional calculus of the generators of these semigroups, generalizing some earlier work of M. Junge, C. Le Merdy and Q. Xu.

We compute the $K$-theory of $C^{*}$-algebras generated by the left regular representation of left Ore semigroups satisfying certain regularity conditions. Our result describes the $K$-theory of these semigroup $C^{*}$-algebras in terms of the $K$-theory for the reduced group $C^{*}$-algebras of certain groups which are typically easier to handle. Then we apply our result to specific semigroups from algebraic number theory.

Let $X$ be a Banach space of analytic functions on the open unit disk and $\Gamma$ a subset of linear isometries on $X$. Sufficient conditions are given for non-supercyclicity of $\Gamma$. In particular, we show that the semigroup of linear isometries on the spaces $S^p$ ($p>1$), the little Bloch space, and the group of surjective linear isometries on the big Bloch space are not supercyclic. Also, we observe that the groups of all surjective linear isometries on the Hardy space $H^p$ or the Bergman space $L_a^p$ ($1<p<\infty$, $p\ne 2$)...

The semigroup $S=S\left(M₂{(}_q)\right)$ of subspaces of the algebra $M₂{(}_q)$ of 2 × 2 matrices over a finite field ${}_q$ is studied. The ideal structure of S, the regular -classes of S and the structure of the complex semigroup algebra ℂ[S] are described.

We prove smoothing properties of nonlocal transition semigroups associated to a class of stochastic differential equations (SDE) in ${ℝ}^d$ driven by additive pure-jump Lévy noise. In particular, we assume that the Lévy process driving the SDE is the sum of a subordinated Wiener process $Y$ (i.e. $Y=W\circ T$, where $T$ is an increasing pure-jump Lévy process starting at zero and independent of the Wiener process $W$) and of an arbitrary Lévy process independent of $Y$, that the drift coefficient is continuous...

We characterise the boundedness of the $H^{\infty }$ calculus of a sectorial operator in terms of dilation theorems. We show e. g. that if $-A$ generates a bounded analytic $C_0$ semigroup $\left(T_t\right)$ on a UMD space, then the $H^{\infty }$ calculus of $A$ is bounded if and only if $\left(T_t\right)$ has a dilation to a bounded group on $L^2([0,1],X)$. This generalises a Hilbert space result of C.LeMerdy. If $X$ is an $L^p$ space we can choose another $L^p$ space in place of $L^2([0,1],X)$.

Let K be a closed convex cone with nonempty interior in a real Banach space and let cc(K) denote the family of all nonempty convex compact subsets of K. A family $F^t:t\ge 0$ of continuous linear set-valued functions $F^t:K\to cc\left(K\right)$ is a differentiable iteration semigroup with F⁰(x) = x for x ∈ K if and only if the set-valued function $\Phi (t,x)=F^t\left(x\right)$ is a solution of the problem $D_t\Phi (t,x)=\Phi (t,G\left(x\right)):=\bigcup \Phi (t,y):y\in G\left(x\right)$, Φ(0,x) = x, for x ∈ K and t ≥ 0, where $D_t\Phi (t,x)$ denotes the Hukuhara derivative of Φ(t,x) with respect to t and $G\left(x\right):=li{m}_{s\to 0+}(F^s\left(x\right)-x)/s$ for x ∈ K.

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,...

Let Ω be an open subset of ${ℝ}^d$ with 0 ∈ Ω. Furthermore, let $H_{\Omega }=-{\sum }_{i,j=1}^d{\partial }_i{c}_{ij}{\partial }_j$ be a second-order partial differential operator with domain $C_c^{\infty }\left(\Omega \right)$ where the coefficients $c_{ij}\in W_{loc}^{1,\infty }\left(\Omega ̅\right)$ are real, $c_{ij}=c_{ji}$ and the coefficient matrix $C=\left(c_{ij}\right)$ satisfies bounds 0 < C(x) ≤ c(|x|)I for all x ∈ Ω. If ${\int }_0^{\infty }ds{s}^{d/2}{e}^{-\lambda \mu \left(s\right)²}<\infty$ for some λ > 0 where $\mu \left(s\right)={\int }_0^{s}dtc{\left(t\right)}^{-1/2}$ then we establish that $H_{\Omega }$ is L₁-unique, i.e. it has a unique L₁-extension which generates a continuous semigroup, if and only if it is Markov unique, i.e. it has a unique L₂-extension which generates a submarkovian semigroup....

We consider one-parameter (C₀)-semigroups of operators in the space ${}^{\text{'}}(ℝⁿ;{ℂ}^m)$ with infinitesimal generator of the form ${(G*)|}_{{}^{\text{'}}(ℝⁿ;{ℂ}^m)}$ where G is an $M_{m\times m}$-valued rapidly decreasing distribution on ℝⁿ. It is proved that the Petrovskiĭ condition for forward evolution ensures not only the existence and uniqueness of the above semigroup but also its nice behaviour after restriction to whichever of the function spaces $(ℝⁿ;{ℂ}^m)$, ${}_{L^p}(ℝⁿ;{ℂ}^m)$, p ∈ [1,∞], ${(}_a)(ℝⁿ;{ℂ}^m)$, a ∈ ]0,∞[, or the spaces ${}_{L^q}^{\text{'}}(ℝⁿ;{ℂ}^m)$, q ∈ ]1,∞], of bounded distributions.

The aim of the paper is two-fold. First, we investigate the ψ-Bessel potential spaces on ${ℝ}_{0+}^{n+1}$ and study some of their properties. Secondly, we consider the fractional powers of an operator of the form $-A_{\pm }=-\psi \left(D_{x^{\text{'}}}\right)\pm \partial /\left(\partial x_{n+1}\right)$, $(x^{\text{'}},x_{n+1})\in {ℝ}_{0+}^{n+1}$, where $\psi \left(D_{x^{\text{'}}}\right)$ is an operator with real continuous negative definite symbol ψ: ℝⁿ → ℝ. We define the domain of the operator $-{(-A_{\pm })}^{\alpha }$ and prove that with this domain it generates an $L_p$-sub-Markovian semigroup.

We introduce the notion of a strongly Whyburn space, and show that a space $X$ is strongly Whyburn if and only if $X\times (\omega +1)$ is Whyburn. We also show that if $X\times Y$ is Whyburn for any Whyburn space $Y$, then $X$ is discrete.

We give new results on square functions $${\parallel x\parallel }_F=\parallel {\left({\int }_0^{\infty }{\left|F\left(tA\right)x\right|}^2\frac{\mathrm{d}t}{t}\right)}^{1/2}{\parallel }_p$$ associated to a sectorial operator $A$ on $L^p$ for $1\&lt;p\&lt;\infty$. Under the assumption that $A$ is actually $R$-sectorial, we prove equivalences of the form $K^{-1}{\parallel x\parallel }_G\le {\parallel x\parallel }_F\le K{\parallel x\parallel }_G$ for suitable functions $F,G$. We also show that $A$ has a bounded $H^{\infty }$ functional calculus with respect to ${\parallel .\parallel }_F$. Then we apply our results to the study of conditions under which we have an estimate $\parallel {({\int }_0^{\infty }|C{\mathrm{e}}^{-tA}{\left(x\right)|}^2\mathrm{d}t{)}^{1/2}\parallel }_q\le M{\parallel x\parallel }_p$, when $-A$ generates a bounded semigroup ${\mathrm{e}}^{-tA}$ on $L^p$ and $C:D\left(A\right)\to L^q$ is a linear mapping.

We prove that on ${ℝ}^N$, there is no n-supercyclic operator with 1 ≤ n < ⌊(N + 1)/2⌋, i.e. if ${ℝ}^N$ has an n-dimensional subspace whose orbit under $T\in \left({ℝ}^N\right)$ is dense in ${ℝ}^N$, then n is greater than ⌊(N + 1)/2⌋. Moreover, this value is optimal. We then consider the case of strongly n-supercyclic operators. An operator $T\in \left({ℝ}^N\right)$ is strongly n-supercyclic if ${ℝ}^N$ has an n-dimensional subspace whose orbit under T is dense in $\mathbb{P}ₙ\left({ℝ}^N\right)$, the nth Grassmannian. We prove that strong n-supercyclicity does not occur non-trivially...

For Banach spaces $X$ and $Y$, let $K_{w^{*}}(X^{*},Y)$ denote the space of all $w^{*}-w$ continuous compact operators from $X^{*}$ to $Y$ endowed with the operator norm. A Banach space $X$ has the $wGP$ property if every Grothendieck subset of $X$ is relatively weakly compact. In this paper we study Banach spaces with property $wGP$. We investigate whether the spaces $K_{w^{*}}(X^{*},Y)$ and $X{\otimes }_{ϵ}Y$ have the $wGP$ property, when $X$ and $Y$ have the $wGP$ property.
