The existence of mean periodic functions in the sense of L. Schwartz, generated, in various ways, by an equicontinuous group $U$ or an equicontinuous cosine function $C$ forces the spectral structure of the infinitesimal generator of $U$ or $C$. In particular, it is proved under fairly general hypotheses that the spectrum has no accumulation point and that the continuous spectrum is empty.

Let $\left\{T\right(t):t>0\}$ be a strongly continuous semigroup of linear contractions in $L_p$, $1<p<\infty$, of a $\sigma$-finite measure space. In this paper we prove that if there corresponds to each $t>0$ a positive linear contraction $P\left(t\right)$ in $L_p$ such that $\left|T\right(t\left)f\right|\le P\left(t\right)\left|f\right|$ for all $f\in L_p$, then there exists a strongly continuous semigroup $\left\{S\right(t):t>0\}$ of positive linear contractions in $L_p$ such that $\left|T\right(t\left)f\right|\le S\left(t\right)\left|f\right|$ for all $t>0$ and $f\in L_p$. Using this and Akcoglu’s dominated ergodic theorem for positive linear contractions in $L_p$, we also prove multiparameter pointwise ergodic and local ergodic theorems...

We provide sufficient conditions for sums of two unbounded operators on a Banach space to be (pre-)generators of contraction semigroups. Necessary conditions and applications to positive emigroups on Banach lattices are also presented.

Jones and Rosenblatt started the study of an ergodic transform which is analogous to the martingale transform. In this paper we present a unified treatment of the ergodic transforms associated to positive groups induced by nonsingular flows and to general means which include the usual averages, Cesàro-α averages and Abel means. We prove the boundedness in $L^p$, 1 < p < ∞, of the maximal ergodic transforms assuming that the semigroup is Cesàro bounded in $L^p$. For p = 1 we find that the maximal ergodic...

We consider a class of perturbations of the degenerate Ornstein-Uhlenbeck operator in ${ℝ}^N$. Using a revised version of Bernstein’s method we provide several uniform estimates for the semigroup ${\left\{T\left(t\right)\right\}}_{t\ge 0}$ associated with the realization of the operator $𝒜$ in the space of all the bounded and continuous functions in ${ℝ}^N$

We characterize those homogeneous translation invariant symmetric non-local operators with positive maximum principle whose harmonic functions satisfy Harnack's inequality. We also estimate the corresponding semigroup and the potential kernel.

We prove $L^2$-maximal regularity of the linear non-autonomous evolutionary Cauchy problem$$\dot{u}\left(t\right)+A\left(t\right)u\left(t\right)=f\left(t\right)\text{for}\text{a.e.}t\in [0,T],u\left(0\right)=u_0,$$ where the operator $A\left(t\right)$ arises from a time depending sesquilinear form $𝔞(t,·,·)$ on a Hilbert space $H$ with constant domain $V.$ We prove the maximal regularity in $H$ when these forms are time Lipschitz continuous. We proceed by approximating the problem using the frozen coefficient method developed by El-Mennaoui, Keyantuo, Laasri (2011), El-Mennaoui, Laasri (2013), and Laasri (2012). As a consequence, we obtain an invariance...

We develolp a new method to solve an evolution equation in a non-cylindrical domain, by reduction to an abstract evolution equation..

Similarly to quasidifferential equations of Panasyuk, the so-called mutational equations of Aubin provide a generalization of ordinary differential equations to locally compact metric spaces. Here we present their extension to a nonempty set with a possibly nonsymmetric distance. In spite of lacking any linear structures, a distribution-like approach leads to so-called right-hand forward solutions. These extensions are mainly motivated by compact subsets of the Euclidean space...
