We prove new characterisations of exponential stability for positive linear discrete-time systems in ordered Banach spaces, in terms of small-gain conditions. Such conditions have played an important role in the finite-dimensional systems…

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 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…

We present a new and very short proof of the fact that, for positive $C_0$-semigroups on spaces of continuous functions, the spectral and the growth bound coincide. Our argument, inspired by an idea of Vogt, makes the role of the underlying…

It is folklore that a power bounded operator on a sequentially complete locally convex space generates a uniformly continuous $C_0$-semigroup which is given by the corresponding power series representation. Recently, Doma\'nski asked if in…

Embedding discrete Markov chains into continuous ones is a famous open problem in probability theory with many applications. Inspired by recent progress, we study the closely related questions of embeddability of real and positive operators…

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…

We study semigroups of convex monotone operators on spaces of continuous functions and their behaviour with respect to $\Gamma$-convergence. In contrast to the linear theory, the domain of the generator is, in general, not invariant under…

For a class of semilinear elliptic equations, we establish criteria that guarantee that the linearized operator associated with a solution satisfies certain spectral assumptions that are widely used in the analysis of the stability of…

In this paper, we study infinite dimensional stochastic systems having both unbounded control and observation operators. First of all, using a semigroup approach, we give another take of the well-posedness of such systems treated in [SIAM…

We specify the structure of completely positive operators and quantum Markov semigroup generators that are symmetric with respect to a family of inner products, also providing new information on the order strucure an extreme points in some…

We prove a Landis type unique continuation result for positive quasi-linear operators on graphs. Specifically, we give decay criteria that ensures when a harmonic function for a positive quasilinear Schr\"odinger operator with potential…

If $(T_t)$ is a semigroup of Markov operators on an $L^1$-space that admits a non-trivial lower bound, then a well-known theorem of Lasota and Yorke asserts that the semigroup is strongly convergent as $t \to \infty$. In this article we…

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…

For finite-dimensional linear semigroups which leave a proper cone invariant it is shown that irreducibility with respect to the cone implies the existence of an extremal norm. In case the cone is simplicial a similar statement applies to…

The main aim of this paper is to investigate almost periodicity and asymptotic almost periodicity of abstract semilinear Cauchy inclusions of first order with (asymptotically) Stepanov almost periodic coefficients. To achieve our goal, we…

In this article we fully describe the domain of the infinitesimal generator of the optimal state semigroup which arises in the theory of the linear-quadratic problem for a specific class of boundary control systems. This represents an…

We consider abstract equations of the form Ax=-z on a locally convex space, where A generates a positive semigroup and z is a positive element. This is an abstract version of the operator Lyapunov equation A*P+PA=-Q from control theory. It…

Let S be a dense sub-semigroup of the positive real numbers, and let X be a separable, reflexive Banach space. This note contains a proof that every weakly continuous contractive semigroup of operators on X over S can be extended to a…

We prove that, in a large class of Banach lattices, the fixed space of each commuting family of positive linear contractions is a lattice subspace. As consequences, new cyclicity results for the peripheral point spectra of positive…
