Suppose A is a (possibly unbounded) linear operator on a Banach space. We show that the following are equivalent. (1) A is well-bounded on [0,∞). (2) -A generates a strongly continuous semigroup ${e^{-sA}}_{s\le 0}$ such that ${(1/s^2)e^{-sA}}_{s>0}$ is the Laplace transform of a Lipschitz continuous family of operators that vanishes at 0. (3) -A generates a strongly continuous differentiable semigroup ${e^{-sA}}_{s\ge 0}$ and ∃ M < ∞ such that $\parallel H_n\left(s\right)\parallel \equiv \parallel ({\sum }_{k=0}^n\left(s^k{A}^k\right)/k!)e^{-sA}\parallel \le M$, ∀s > 0, n ∈ ℕ ∪ 0. (4) -A generates a strongly continuous holomorphic semigroup ${e^{-zA}}_{Re\left(z\right)>0}$ that is O(|z|) in all...

An increasing sequence ${\left(n_k\right)}_{k\ge 0}$ of positive integers is said to be a Jamison sequence if for every separable complex Banach space X and every T ∈ ℬ(X) which is partially power-bounded with respect to ${\left(n_k\right)}_{k\ge 0}$, the set ${\sigma }_p\left(T\right)\cap$ is at most countable. We prove that for every separable infinite-dimensional complex Banach space X which admits an unconditional Schauder decomposition, and for any sequence ${\left(n_k\right)}_{k\ge 0}$ which is not a Jamison sequence, there exists T ∈ ℬ(X) which is partially power-bounded with respect to ${\left(n_k\right)}_{k\ge 0}$ and has the...

Let $(X,d_X)$, $(\Omega ,d_{\Omega })$ be complete separable metric spaces. Denote by (X) the space of probability measures on X, by $W_p$ the p-Wasserstein metric with some p ∈ [1,∞), and by ${}_p\left(X\right)$ the space of probability measures on X with finite Wasserstein distance from any point measure. Let $f:\Omega {\to }_p\left(X\right)$, $\omega \mapsto f_{\omega }$, be a Borel map such that f is a contraction from $(\Omega ,d_{\Omega })$ into ${(}_p\left(X\right),W_p)$. Let ν₁,ν₂ be probability measures on Ω with $W_p(\nu ₁,\nu ₂)$ finite. On X we consider the subordinated measures ${\mu }_i={\int }_{\Omega }{f}_{\omega }d{\nu }_i\left(\omega \right)$. Then $W_p(\mu ₁,\mu ₂)\le W_p(\nu ₁,\nu ₂)$. As an application we show that the solution measures ${\varrho }_{\alpha }\left(t\right)$ to the partial...

Some criteria for weak compactness of set valued integrals are given. Also we show some applications to the study of multimeasures on Banach spaces with the Radon-Nikodym property.

We prove that, in arbitrary finite dimensions, the maximal operator for the Laguerre semigroup is of weak type (1,1). This extends Muckenhoupt's one-dimensional result.
