For nonuniform exponentially bounded evolution families on the half-line we introduce a class of Banach function spaces on which we define nonuniform evolution semigroups. We completely characterize nonuniform exponential stability in terms…
This paper aims to provide some tools coming from functional inequalities to deal with quasi-stationarity for absorbed Markov processes. First, it is shown how a Poincar\'e inequality related to a suitable Doob transform entails exponential…
In the context of finite tensor products of Hilbert spaces, we prove that similarity of a tensor product of operator semigroups to a contraction semigroup is equivalent to the corresponding similarity for each factor, after an appropriate…
We prove that under certain stability and smoothing properties of the semi-groups generated by the partial differential equations that we consider, manifolds left invariant by these flows persist under $C^1$ perturbation. In particular, we…
Let $\MM$ be the space of finite measures on a Locally compact Polish space, and let $\BG$ be the Gamma distribution on $\MM$ with intensity measure $\nu\in \MM$. Let $\nn^{ext}$ be the extrinsic derivative with tangent bundle $T\MM=…
We prove concentration inequalities for functions of independent random variables {under} sub-gaussian and sub-exponential conditions. The utility of the inequalities is demonstrated by an extension of the now classical method of Rademacher…
Generalizing older works of Domar and Armitage and Gardiner, we give an inequality for quasinearly subharmonic functions. As an application of this inequality, we improve Domar's, Rippon's and our previous results concerning the existence…
In this paper, we report on new results related to the existence of an adjoint for operators on separable Banach spaces and discuss a few interesting applications. (Some results are new even for Hilbert spaces.) Our first two applications…
We provide a first-order necessary and sufficient condition for optimality of lower semicontinuous functions on Banach spaces using the concept of subdifferential. From the sufficient condition we derive that any subdifferential operator is…

The purpose of this paper is to give a sufficient condition for (strong) stability of non-proper smooth functions (with respect to the Whitney $C^\infty$-topology). We show that a Morse function is stable if it is end-trivial at any point…
In this paper we establish a scale invariant Harnack inequality for the fractional powers of parabolic operators $(\partial_t - \mathscr{L})^s$, $0<s<1$, where $\mathscr{L}$ is the infinitesimal generator of a class of symmetric semigroups.…
In this paper we investigate a system of coupled inequalities consisting of a variational-hemivariational inequality and a quasi-hemivariational inequality on Banach spaces. The approach is topological, and a wide variety of existence…
This article summarises the theory of several bounded functional calculi for unbounded operators that have recently been discovered. The extend the Hille--Phillips calculus for (negative) generators $A$ of certain bounded $C_0$-semigroups,…
We study semigroups of bounded operators on a Banach space such that the members of the semigroup are continuous with respect to various weak topologies and we give sufficient conditions for the generator of the semigroup to be closed with…
We study time-inhomogeneous Markov chains with finite state spaces using Nash and logarithmic-Sobolev inequalities, and the notion of $c$-stability. We develop the basic theory of such functional inequalities in the time-inhomogeneous…
Motivated by positivity-, monotonicity-, and convexity preserving differential equations, we introduce a definition of shape preserving operator semigroups and analyze their fundamental properties. In particular, we prove that the class of…
$\mu$ being a nonnegative measure satisfying some log-Sobolev inequality, we give conditions on F for the measure $\nu=e^{-2F} \mu$ to also satisfy some log-Sobolev inequality. Explicit examples are studied.
Bochner's theorem characterizes positive definite functions on groups through the positivity of their Fourier transforms and plays a fundamental role in Harmonic analysis. While Bochner-type results are known for certain classes of…
Extension of two known facts concerning subordination is made. The first fact is that, in subordination of 1-dimensional Brownian motion with drift, selfdecomposability is inherited from subordinator to subordinated. This is extended to…
