In this note we study the generation of $C_0$-semigroups by first order differential operators on $\mathrm{L}^p (\mathbb{R}_+,\mathbb{C}^{\ell})\times \mathrm{L}^p ([0,1],\mathbb{C}^{m})$ with general boundary conditions. In many cases we…
We present a new method for constructing $C_0$-semigroups for which properties of the resolvent of the generator and continuity properties of the semigroup in the operator-norm topology are controlled simultaneously. It allows us to show…

When we are interested in the long-term behaviour of solutions to linear evolution equations, a large variety of techniques from the theory of $C_0$-semigroups is at our disposal. However, if we consider for instance parabolic equations…
We present a generation theorem for positive semigroups on an $L^1$ space. It provides sufficient conditions for the existence of positive and integrable solutions of initial-boundary value problems. An application to a two-phase cell cycle…
We review the theory of one-sided coupled operator matrices with a focus on evolution equations with inhomogeneous boundary conditions. (The original article had no abstract.)

Hyperbolic partial differential equations on a one-dimensional spatial domain are studied. This class of systems includes models of beams and waves as well as the transport equation and networks of non-homogeneous transmission lines. The…
A quasi-automatic semigroup is defined by a finite set of generators, a rational (regular) set of representatives, such that if a is a generator or neutral, then the graph of right multiplication by a on the set of representatives is a…
In a recent paper we presented a general perturbation result for generators of $C_0$-semigroups. The aim of the present paper is to replace, in case the unperturbed semigroup is analytic, the various conditions appearing in this result by…
We investigate properties which ensure that a given finite graph is the commuting graph of a group or semigroup. We show that all graphs on at least two vertices such that no vertex is adjacent to all other vertices is the commuting graph…
We consider differential-algebraic equations in infinite dimensional state spaces and study, under which conditions we can associate a $C_{0}$-semigroup with such equations. We determine the right space of initial values and characterise…
We discuss several classes of linear second order initial-boundary value problems, where damping terms appear in the main wave equation as well as in the dynamic boundary condition. We investigate their well-posedness and describe some…
Two boundary value problems for the Helmholtz equation in a semi-infinite strip are considered. The main feature of these problems is that, in addition to the function and its normal derivative on the boundary, the functionals of the…
