Semigroups of positivity preserving linear operators on measures of a measurable space X describe the evolutions of probability distributions of Markov processes on X. Their dual semigroups of positivity preserving linear operators on the space of measurable bounded functions B(X) on X describe the evolutions of averages over the trajectories of these Markov processes. In this paper we introduc...

We study evolutionary semigroups generated by a strongly continuous semi-cocycle over a locally compact metric space acting on Banach fibers. This setting simultaneously covers evolutionary semigroups arising from nonautonomuous abstract Cauchy problems and C0-semigroups, and linear skew-product flows. The spectral mapping theorem for these semigroups is proved. The hyperbolicity of the semigro...

Morphological semigroups for functions on length spaces have recently studied [2], whose basic ingredients are the convolution in the (max,+)-algebra (or supremal convolution), the metric distance and a convex shape function. Links with Hamilton–Jacobi PDE on length spaces appears also naturally. These semigroups lead to powerful scale-space properties for multiscale filtering, regularization a...
