In this article we describe properties of unbounded operators related to evolutionary problems. It is a survey article which also contains several new results. For instance we give a characterization of cosine functions in terms of mild well-posedness of the Cauchy problem of order 2, and we show that the property of having a bounded $H^{\infty }$-calculus is stable under rank-1 perturbations whereas the property of being associated with a closed form and the property of generating a cosine function are not....

$C^0$-scalar-type spectrality criterions for operators A whose resolvent set contains the negative reals are provided. The criterions are given in terms of growth conditions on the resolvent of A and the semigroup generated by A. These criterions characterize scalar-type operators on the Banach space X if and only if X has no subspace isomorphic to the space of complex null-sequences.

Mathematics Subject Classification: Primary 47A60, 47D06.In this paper, we extend the theory of complex powers of operators to a class of operators in Banach spaces whose spectrum lies in C ]−∞, 0[ and whose resolvent satisfies an estimate ||(λ + A)(−1)|| ≤ (λ(−1) + λm) M for all λ > 0 and for some constants M > 0 and m ∈ R. This class of operators strictly contains the class of the non negative operators and the one of operators with polynomially bounded resolvent. We also prove that this theory...

It is shown that reducing bands of measures yield decompositions not only of an operator representation itself, but also of its commutant. This has many consequences for commuting Hilbert space representations and for commuting operators on Hilbert spaces. Among other things, it enables one to construct a Lebesgue-type decomposition of several commuting contractions without assuming any von Neumann-type inequality.

It is shown that there is a one-to-one correspondence between uniformly bounded holomorphic functions of n complex variables in sectors of ℂⁿ, and uniformly bounded functions of n+1 real variables in sectors of ${ℝ}^{n+1}$ that are monogenic functions in the sense of Clifford analysis. The result is applied to the construction of functional calculi for n commuting operators, including the example of differentiation operators on a Lipschitz surface in ${ℝ}^{n+1}$.

We characterize closed linear operators A, on a Banach space, for which the corresponding abstract Cauchy problem has a unique polynomially bounded solution for all initial data in the domain of $A^n$, for some nonnegative integer n, in terms of functional calculi, regularized semigroups, integrated semigroups and the growth of the resolvent in the right half-plane. We construct a semigroup analogue of a spectral distribution for such operators, and an extended functional calculus: When the abstract...

This paper is mainly concerned with extensions of the so-called Vishik functional calculus for analytic bounded linear operators to a class of unbounded linear operators on $c_0$. For that, our first task consists of introducing a new class of linear operators denoted $W\left(c_0(J,\omega ,𝕂)\right)$ and next we make extensive use of such a new class along with the concept of convergence in the sense of resolvents to construct a functional calculus for a large class of unbounded linear operators.

This paper shows some directions of perturbation theory for Lipschitz functions of selfadjoint and normal operators, without giving precise proofs. Some of the ideas discussed are explained informally or for the finite-dimensional case. Several unsolved problems are mentioned.

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 $A$ be the $L^p$ realization ($1\<p\<\infty$) of a differential operator $P(D_x,D_t)$ on ${ℝ}^n\times {ℝ}^{+}$ with general boundary conditions $B_k(D_x,D_t)u(x,0)=0$ ($1\le k\le m$). Here $P$ is a homogeneous polynomial of order $2m$ in $n+1$ complex variables that satisfies a suitable ellipticity condition, and for $1\le k\le m$$B_k$ is a homogeneous polynomial of order...

We give a concise exposition of the basic theory of $H^{\infty }$ functional calculus for N-tuples of sectorial or bisectorial operators, with respect to operator-valued functions; moreover we restate and prove in our setting a result of N. Kalton and L. Weis about the boundedness of the operator $f(T₁,...,T_N)$ when f is an R-bounded operator-valued holomorphic function.
