The classical Chernoff's theorem is a statement about discrete-time approximations of semigroups, where the approximations are consturcted as products of time-dependent contraction operators strongly differentiable at zero. We generalize…
Often, when we consider the time evolution of a system, we resort to approximation: Instead of calculating the exact orbit, we divide the time interval in question into uniform segments. Chernoff's results in this direction provide us with…
Based on the Chernoff approximation, we provide a general approximation result for convex monotone semigroups which are continuous w.r.t. the mixed topology on suitable spaces of continuous functions. Starting with a family $(I(t))_{t\geq…
In this note the Chernoff Theorem is used to approximate evolution semigroups constructed by the procedure of subordination. The considered semigroups are subordinate to some original, unknown explicitly but already approximated by the same…
This survey describes the method of approximation of operator semigroups, based on the Chernoff theorem. We outline recent results in this domain as well as clarify relations between constructed approximations, stochastic processes,…
In this paper we study the well-posedness of the evolution equation of the form $u'(t)=Au(t)+Cu(t)$, $t\ge 0$, where $A$ is the generator of a $C_0$- semigroup and $C$ is a (possibly unbounded) linear operator in a Banach space…
Chernoff approximations of Feller semigroups and the associated diffusion processes in Riemannian manifolds are studied. The manifolds are assumed to be of bounded geometry, thus including all compact manifolds and also a wide range of…
Chernoff approximations to strongly continuous one-parameter semigroups give solutions to a wide class of differential equations. This paper studies the rate of convergence of the Chernoff approximations. We provide simple natural examples…
We give a short new proof of the Arendt-Chernoff-Kato theorem, which characterizes generators of positive C0 semigroups in order unit spaces. The proof avoids half-norms and subdifferentials, and is based on a sufficient condition for an…
We introduce a special class of real semiflows, which is used to define a general type of evolution semigroups, associated to not necessarily exponentially bounded evolution families. Giving spectral characterizations of the corresponding…
The article is devoted to the construction of examples that illustrate (using computer calculations) the rate of convergence of Chernoff approximations to the solution of the Cauchy problem for the heat equation. We are interested in the…
The Chernoff approximation method is a powerful and flexible tool of functional analysis, which allows in many cases to express exp(tL) in terms of variable coefficients of a linear differential operator L. In this paper, we prove a theorem…
The purpose of the present notes is to examine the following issues related to the the Chernoff estimate: (1) For contractions on a Banach space we modify the $\sqrt{n}$-estimate and apply it in the proof of the Chernoff product formula for…
Assuming the existence of a general nonuniform dichotomy for the evolution operator of a non-autonomous ordinary linear differential equation in a Banach space, we establish the existence of invariant stable manifolds for the semiflow…
Let (S(t)) be a one-parameter family S = (S(t)) of positive integral operators on a locally compact space L. For a possibly non-uniform partition of [0,1] define a measure on the path space C([0,1],L) by using a) S(dt) for the transition…
We study conditions for the well-posedness of nonautonomous perturbation of evolution equations of the form \[ u'(t)=(A+B(t))u(t), \quad t \in [a,b], \] where $A$ generates a $\mathrm{C}_0$-semigroup $\left (T(t)\right )_{t\ge 0}$ with $\|…

An evolving Riemannian manifold $(M,g_t)_{t\in I}$ consists of a smooth $d$-dimensional manifold $M$, equipped with a geometric flow $g_t$ of complete Riemannian metrics, parametrized by $I=(-\infty,T)$. Given an additional $C^{1,1}$ family…
Chernoff information upper bounds the probability of error of the optimal Bayesian decision rule for $2$-class classification problems. However, it turns out that in practice the Chernoff bound is hard to calculate or even approximate. In…
We present a spectral mapping theorem for continuous semigroups of operators on any Banach space $E$. The condition for the hyperbolicity of a semigroup on $E$ is given in terms of the generator of an evolutionary semigroup acting in the…
