Topics in Operator Semigroups (eBook, PDF)

Produktbeschreibung

The theory of operator semigroups was essentially discovered in the early 1930s. Since then, the theory has developed into a rich and exciting area of functional analysis and has been applied to various mathematical topics such as Markov processes, the abstract Cauchy problem, evolution equations, and mathematical physics.

This self-contained monograph focuses primarily on the theoretical connection between the theory of operator semigroups and spectral theory. Divided into three parts with a total of twelve distinct chapters, this book gives an in-depth account of the subject with numerous examples, detailed proofs, and a brief look at a few applications.

Topics include:

* The Hille-Yosida and Lumer-Phillips characterizations of semigroup generators

* The Trotter-Kato approximation theorem

* Kato's unified treatment of the exponential formula and the Trotter product formula

* The Hille-Phillips perturbation theorem, and Stone's representation of unitary semigroups

* Generalizations of spectral theory's connection to operator semigroups

* A natural generalization of Stone's spectral integral representation to a Banach space setting

With a collection of miscellaneous exercises at the end of the book and an introductory chapter examining the basic theory involved, this monograph is suitable for second-year graduate students interested in operator semigroups.

Rezensionen

From the reviews:

"This book is based on the author's lecture notes ... in which the more advanced parts concentrated on spectral representations. ... There is also a presentation of a well-known stability theorem for semigroups under countable spectral conditions. ... The increased variety of topics covered will make the book more useful ... . Other advantages are the inclusion of an index and some exercises, considerable extensions of the bibliography and the list of contents, and more attractive typesetting."­­­ (C. J. K. Batty, Mathematical Reviews, Issue 2010 k)

"The present graduate level text expands the previous lecture notes from the same author, Semigroups of operators and spectral theory ... . It begins with a succinct introduction to operator semigroups covering classical topics such as generators, the Hille-Yosida theorem, dissipative operators and the Lumer-Phillips theorem, the Trotter convergence theorem, exponential formulas, perturbation theory, Stone's theorem, and analytic semigroups. ... The text is also intended for second-year graduate students ... . it will be a valuable source for researchers working in this area." (G. Teschl, Monatshefte für Mathematik, Vol. 162 (4), April, 2011)
