gives rise to a well-defined propagator, which is a semigroup of linear operators, and the theory of semigroups of linear operators on Banach spaces has developed quite rapidly since the discovery of the generation theorem byHille and Yosida in 1948. By now, it is a rich theory with substantial applications to many fields cf., e.g., 1–6 . In this paper, we pay attention to some basic problems o...

This is the second part of a series of four articles on weighted norm inequalities, off-diagonal estimates and elliptic operators. We consider a substitute to the notion of pointwise bounds for kernels of operators which usually is a measure of decay. This substitute is that of off-diagonal estimates expressed in terms of local and scale invariant L − L estimates. We propose a definition in spa...

Let S be a dense sub-semigroup of R+, 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 weakly continuous semigroup over R+. We obtain similar results for nonlinear, nonexpansive semigroups as well. As a corollary we characterize all densely parametrized semigroups which a...
