We consider properties of second-order operators $H = -\sum^d_{i,j=1} \partial_i \, c_{ij} \, \partial_j$ on $\Ri^d$ with bounded real symmetric measurable coefficients. We assume that $C = (c_{ij}) \geq 0$ almost everywhere, but allow for…

We show that there is always a uniformly antisymmetric f:A-> {0,1} if A subset R is countable. We prove that the continuum hypothesis is equivalent to the statement that there is an f:R-> omega with |S_x| <= 1 for every x in R. If the…

We study decay rates for bounded $C_0$-semigroups from the perspective of $L^p$-infinite-time admissibility and related resolvent estimates. In the Hilbert space setting, polynomial decay of semigroup orbits is characterized by the…

For a sequence of uniformly bounded, degenerate semigroups on a Hilbert space, we compare various types of convergences to a limit semigroup. Among others, we show that convergence of the semigroups, or of the resolvents of the generators,…

Let T_t=e^{-tL} be a semigroup of self-adjoint linear operators acting on L^2(X,mu), where (X,d mu) is a space of homogeneous type. We assume that T_t has an integral kernel T_t(x,y) which satisfies the upper and lower Gaussian bounds:…

It is shown that if A generates a bounded cosine operator function on a UMD space X, then i(-A)^{1/2} generates a bounded C_0-group. The proof uses a transference principle for cosine functions.

Let $C$ be a closed cone with nonempty interior $C^\circ$ in a Banach space. Let $f:C^\circ \rightarrow C^\circ$ be an order-preserving subhomogeneous function with a fixed point in $C^\circ$. We introduce a condition which guarantees that…

An interesting result by T. Kato and A. Pazy says that a contractive semigroup (T(t)) on a uniformly convex space X is holomorphic iff limsup_{t \downarrow 0} ||T(t)-Id|| < 2. We study extensions of this result which are valid on arbitrary…

A semigroup A is an abelian semigroup with identity 0. A set of positives in A is an ordered down-directed set P containing with every r an element r/2 with r/2 + r/2 = r. A continuity space is an abstract set X equipped with a map d : XxX…

A suitable notion of hypercontractivity for a nonlinear semigroup $\{T_t\}$ is shown to imply Gagliardo--Nirenberg inequalities for its generator $H$, provided a subhomogeneity property holds for the energy functional $(u,Hu)$. We use this…

Given a sequence of bounded operators $a_j$ on a Hilbert space $H$ with $\sum a_j^*a_j=1=\sum a_ja_j^*$, we study the map $\Psi$ defined on $B(H)$ by $\Psi(x)=\sum a_j^*xa_j$ and its restriction $\Phi$ to the Hilbert-Schmidt class $C^2(H)$.…

Let $A$ be a closed densely defined operator on a separable Hilbert space $\mathcal{H}$. Assume the resolvent set $\rho(A)$ is non-empty. For $z,z'\in\rho(A)$ let $[z,z']$ denote the straight line segment from $z$ to $z'$. For each…

A symmetric subset of the reals is one that remains invariant under some reflection x --> c-x. Given 0 < x < 1, there exists a real number D(x) with the following property: if 0 < d < D(x), then every subset of [0,1] with measure x contains…

We show that if $G$ is a discrete Abelian group and $A \subset G$ has $\|1_A\|_{B(G)} \leq M$ then $A$ is $O(\exp(\pi M))$-stable in the sense of Terry and Wolf.

A unitary representation of a, possibly infinite dimensional, Lie group G is called semi-bounded if the corresponding operators id\pi(x) from the derived representations are uniformly bounded from above on some non-empty open subset of the…

We revise the operator-norm convergence of the Trotter product formula for a pair {A,B} of generators of semigroups on a Banach space. Operator-norm convergence holds true if the dominating operator A generates a holomorphic contraction…

This paper is devoted to the stabilization of a linear control system $y' = A y + B u$ and its suitable non-linear variants where $(A, \cD(A))$ is an infinitesimal generator of a strongly continuous {\it group} in a Hilbert space $\mH$, and…

It is well known that, contrary to the autonomous case, the stability/instability of solutions of nonautonomous linear ordinary differential equations $x' = A(t) x$ is in no relation to the sign of the real parts of the eigenvalues of…

We prove that the negative infinitesimal generator $L$ of a semigroup of positive contractions on $L^\infty$ has a bounded $H^\infty(S_\eta^0)$-calculus on the associated Poisson semigroup-BMO space for any angle $\eta>\pi/2$, provided the…

In this paper, necessary and sufficient conditions are established for the factorization of a closed, in general, unbounded operator $T=AB$ into a product of two nonnegative selfadjoint operators $A$ and $B.$ Already the special case, where…
