We analyze Fourier hyperfunction and hyperfunction semigroups with non-densely defined generators and their connections with local convoluted $C$-semigroups. Structural theorems and spectral characterizations give necessary and sufficient…

We show that for a general Markov generator the associated square-field (or carr\'e du champs) operator and all their iterations are positive. The proof is based on an interpolation between the operators involving the generator and their…

We prove that operators of the form $A=-a(x)^2\Delta^{2}$, with $|D a(x)|\leq c a(x)^\frac{1}{2}$, generate analytic semigroups in $L^p(\mathbb{R}^N)$ for $1<p\leq\infty$ and in $C_b(\mathbb{R}^N)$. In particular, we deduce generation…

The function $P(T)=\sum_{i=0}^\infty c_i T^i$ is admissible if $c_i\geq 0$, $\sum_{i=0}^\infty c_i\leq 1$. For any given set of admissible functions $P_1,\dots, P_k$ there is a unitary operator $T$ of dynamic origin such that the weak…

An intriguing feature of positive $C_0$-semigroups on function spaces (or more generally on Banach lattices) is that their long-time behaviour is much easier to describe than it is for general semigroups. In particular, the convergence of…

It is shown how to construct *-homomorphic quantum stochastic Feller cocycles for certain unbounded generators, and so obtain dilations of strongly continuous quantum dynamical semigroups on C* algebras; this generalises the construction of…

Let $X$ be a complex Banach space and let $J:X \to X^*$ be a duality section on $X$ (i.e. $\langle x,J(x)\rangle=\|J(x)\|\|x\|=\|J(x)\|^2=\|x\|^2$). For any unit vector $x$ and any ($C_0$) contraction semigroup $T=\{e^{tA}:t \geq 0\}$,…

In this paper we give a proof via the contraction mapping principle of a Bloch-type theorem for normalised Bochner-Takahashi $K$-mappings, which are solutions to equations of the form $Lu=0$, where $L$ is the heat operator.

Given a bounded domain in the Euclidean space satisfying the uniform outer cone condition, we show that a uniformly elliptic operator of second order with continuous second order coefficients generates a holomorphic semigroup on the space…

We consider toroidal pseudodifferential operators with operator-valued symbols, their mapping properties and the generation of analytic semigroups on vector-valued Besov and Sobolev spaces. We show that a parabolic toroiodal…

We prove that operators of the form $A=-a(x)^2\Delta^{2}$, with suitable growth conditions on the coefficient $a(x)$, generate analytic semigroups in $L^1(\mathbb{R}^N)$. In particular, we deduce generation results for the operator $A :=-…

We consider two $C_0$-semigroups $(e^{tA})_{t \ge 0}$ and $(e^{tB})_{t \ge 0}$ on function spaces (or, more generally, on Banach lattices) and analyse eventual domination between them in the sense that $|e^{tA}f| \le e^{tB}|f|$ for all…

Given a numerical semigroup $S$ and a positive integer $d$, the fraction $\frac{S}{d}=\{ x \in \mathbb{N} \ | \ dx \in S\}$ is again a numerical semigroup. In this paper we determine a generating set for $\frac{S}{d}$ in terms of the…

Let $X(\mathbb{R})$ be a separable Banach function space such that the Hardy-Littlewood maximal operator is bounded $X(\mathbb{R})$ and on its associate space $X'(\mathbb{R})$. The algebra $C_X(\dot{\mathbb{R}})$ of continuous Fourier…

In this paper we extend the Lumer-Phillips theorem to the context of two--parameter C_0-semigroup of contractions. That is, we characterize the infinitesimal generators of two--parameter C_0-semigroups of contractions. Conditions on the…

We characterize the generators of dynamical systems on Hilbert modules as those generators of one-parameter groups of Banach space isometries which are ternary derivations. We investigate in how far a similar condition can be expressed in…

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 consider a simple model of a stochastic heat engine, which consists of a single Brownian particle moving in a one-dimensional periodically breathing harmonic potential. Overdamped limit is assumed. Expressions of second moments…

We prove that the operator $L_0=-(1+|x|)^\beta(-\Delta)^{\alpha/2}$ with $\alpha\in(0,2)$, $d>\alpha$ and $\beta\ge0$ generates a compact semigroup or resolvent on $L^2(\R^d;(1+|x|)^{-\beta}\,dx)$, if and only if $\beta>\alpha$. When…

If $X$ is a non-degenerate vector field on ${\bf R}$ and $H=-X^2$ we examine conditions for the closure of $H$ to generate a continuous semigroup on $L_\infty$ which extends to the $L_p$-spaces. We give an example which cannot be extended…
