This paper provides sharp lower estimates near the origin for the functional calculus $F(-uA)$ of a generator $A$ of an operator semigroup defined on the (strictly) positive real line; here $F$ is given as the Laplace transform of a measure…
We establish Liouville type theorems for elliptic systems with various classes of non-linearities on $\mathbb{R}^N$. We show among other things, that a system has no semi-stable solution in any dimension, whenever the infimum of the…
In this paper, we collect some technical results about weights on C*-algebras which are useful in de theory of locally compact quantum groups in the C*-algebra framework. We discuss the extension of a lower semi-continuous weight to a…
This paper deals with the controllability for a class of non-autonomous neutral differential equations of fractional order with infinite delay in an abstract space. The semi-group theory of bounded linear operators, fractional calculus, and…
In the present work we review and refine some results about fixed points of semigroups of quantum channels. Noncommutative potential theory enables us to show that the set of fixed points of a recurrent semigroup is a W*-algebra; aside from…
Lyapunov functions play a vital role in the context of control theory for nonlinear dynamical systems. Besides its classical use for stability analysis, Lyapunov functions also arise in iterative schemes for computing optimal feedback laws…
In this work, the notion of a quantum inverse semigroup is introduced as a linearized generalization of inverse semigroups. Beyond the algebra of an inverse semigroup, which is the natural example of a quantum inverse semigroup, several…
We investigate an example of noise-induced stabilization in the plane that was also considered in (Gawedzki, Herzog, Wehr 2010) and (Birrell, Herzog, Wehr 2011). We show that despite the deterministic system not being globally stable, the…
In this paper we prove a strong Hahn-Banach theorem: separation of disjoint convex sets by linear forms is possible without any further conditions, if the target field $\R$ is replaced by a more general real closed extension field. From…
We discuss positive Miyadera-Voigt type perturbations for bi-continuous semigroups on AL-spaces with an additional locally convex topology generated by additive seminorms. Our main example is the space of bounded Borel measures.
We consider a class of one--dimensional non--convex non--coercive problems in the Calculus of Variations. We prove an existence result for this class of problems using a Liapunov type theorem on the range of non--atomic measures.
The existence of positive weak solutions is related to spectral information on the corresponding partial differential operator.
In this paper, we present a methodology for stability analysis of a general class of systems defined by coupled Partial Differential Equations (PDEs) with spatially dependent coefficients and a general class of boundary conditions. This…
We give a new construction of a C*-algebra from a cancellative semigroup $P$ via partial isometric representations, generalising the construction from the second named author's thesis. We then study our construction in detail for the…
We consider linear operators defined on a subspace of a complex Banach space into its topological antidual acting positively in a natural sense. The goal of this paper is to investigate of this kind of operators. The main theorem is a…
Let T : Lp --> Lp be a positive contraction, with p strictly between 1 and infinity. Assume that T is analytic, that is, there exists a constant K such that \norm{T^n-T^{n-1}} < K/n for any positive integer n. Let q strictly betweeen 2 and…
We consider five different abstract Cauchy problems where the operator is of fourth order. For each problem, using semigroups techniques and functional calculus, we study the invertibility and the spectral properties of the fourth order…
Let $M$ be a Hopf--von Neuman algebra with the predual $M_*$ and $WAP(M)$ the subspace in $M$ composed of weakly almost periodic functionals on $M_*$. The main example of such an algebra is $M=L^\infty(\mathbb G)$ for a locally compact…
We prove existence, uniqueness and give the analytical solution of heat and wave type equations on a compact Lie group $G$ by using a non-local (in time) differential operator and a positive left invariant operator (maybe unbounded) acting…
We show that the semigroup associated to a second-order elliptic system is positive if and only if the differential equations are essentially decoupled and the coefficients are real-valued. This means the system can be replaced by an…
