Two operator-valued Fourier multiplier theorems for Hölder spaces are proved, one periodic, the other on the line. In contrast to the $L^p$-situation they hold for arbitrary Banach spaces. As a consequence, maximal regularity in the sense of Hölder can be characterized by simple resolvent estimates of the underlying operator.

In this paper we characterize the semigroups of analytic functions in the unit disk which lead to semigroups of operators in the disk algebra. These characterizations involve analytic as well as geometric aspects of the iterates and they are strongly related to the classical theorem of Carathéodory about local connection and boundary behaviour of univalent functions.

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...

Given an equibounded (₀)-semigroup of linear operators with generator A on a Banach space X, a functional calculus, due to L. Schwartz, is briefly sketched to explain fractional powers of A. Then the (modified) K-functional with respect to $(X,D\left({(-A)}^{\alpha }\right))$, α > 0, is characterized via the associated resolvent R(λ;A). Under the assumption that the resolvent satisfies a Nikolskii type inequality, ${\left|\right|\lambda R(\lambda ;A)f\left|\right|}_Y{\le c\phi (1/\lambda )\left|\right|f\left|\right|}_X$, for a suitable Banach space Y, an Ulyanov inequality is derived. This will be of interest if one has good control...

We study frequent hypercyclicity in the context of strongly continuous semigroups of operators. More precisely, we give a criterion (sufficient condition) for a semigroup to be frequently hypercyclic, whose formulation depends on the Pettis integral. This criterion can be verified in certain cases in terms of the infinitesimal generator of the semigroup. Applications are given for semigroups generated by Ornstein-Uhlenbeck operators, and especially for translation semigroups on weighted spaces of...

Frequent hypercyclicity for translation C₀-semigroups on weighted spaces of continuous functions is studied. The results are achieved by establishing an analogy between frequent hypercyclicity for translation semigroups and for weighted pseudo-shifts and by characterizing frequently hypercyclic weighted pseudo-shifts on spaces of vanishing sequences. Frequently hypercyclic translation semigroups on weighted $L^p$-spaces are also characterized.

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...

The exponential stability property of an evolutionary process is characterized in terms of the existence of some functionals on certain function spaces. Thus are generalized some well-known results obtained by Datko, Rolewicz, Littman and Van Neerven.

We propose a new general method of estimating Schrödinger perturbations of transition densities using an auxiliary transition density as a majorant of the perturbation series. We present applications to Gaussian bounds by proving an optimal inequality involving four Gaussian kernels, which we call the 4G Theorem. The applications come with honest control of constants in estimates of Schrödinger perturbations of Gaussian-type heat kernels and also allow for specific non-Kato perturbations.

The convexity and compactness in the weak operator topology of the image and pre-image of a generalized fractional linear transformation is established. As an application the exponential dichotomy of solutions to evolution problems of the parabolic type is proved.

The Sova-Kurtz approximation theorem for semigroups is applied to prove convergence of solutions of the telegraph equation with small parameter. Convergence of the solutions of the diffusion equation with varying boundary conditions is also considered.

We prove that Brownian motion on an abstract Wiener space B generates a locally equicontinuous semigroup on $C_b\left(B\right)$ equipped with the $T_t$-topology introduced by L. Le Cam. Hence we obtain a “Laplace operator” as its infinitesimal generator. Using this Laplacian, we discuss Poisson’s equation and heat equation, and study its properties, especially the difference from the Gross Laplacian.

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...

It will be proved that if $N$ is a bounded nilpotent operator on a Banach space $X$ of order $k+1$, where $k\ge 1$ is an integer, then the $\gamma$-th order Cesàro mean $C_t^{\gamma }:=\gamma t^{-\gamma }{\int }_0^t{(t-s)}^{\gamma -1}T\left(s\right)ds$ and Abel mean $A_{\lambda }:=\lambda {\int }_0^{\infty }{e}^{-\lambda s}T\left(s\right)ds$ of the uniformly continuous semigroup ${\left(T\left(t\right)\right)}_{t\ge 0}$ of bounded linear operators on $X$ generated by $iaI+N$, where $0\ne a\in ℝ$, satisfy that (a) $\parallel C_t^{\gamma }\parallel \sim t^{k-\gamma }(t\to \infty )$ for all $0<\gamma \le k+1$; (b) $\parallel C_t^{\gamma }\parallel \sim t^{-1}(t\to \infty )$ for all $\gamma \ge k+1$; (c) $\parallel A_{\lambda }\parallel \sim \lambda (\lambda \downarrow 0)$. A similar result will be also proved for the uniformly continuous cosine function ${\left(C\left(t\right)\right)}_{t\ge 0}$ of bounded linear operators on $X$ generated by ${(iaI+N)}^2$.

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 $L^2([0,1],X)$.
