Abstract
Suppose A is a (possibly unbounded) linear operator on a Banach space. We show that the following are equivalent.
(1) A is well-bounded on [0,∞).
(2) -A generates a strongly continuous semigroup such that is the Laplace transform of a Lipschitz continuous family of operators that vanishes at 0.
(3) -A generates a strongly continuous differentiable semigroup and ∃ M < ∞ such that
, ∀s > 0, n ∈ ℕ ∪ {0}.
(4) -A generates a strongly continuous holomorphic semigroup that is O(|z|) in all half-planes Re(z) > a > 0 and
defines a differentiable function of t, with Lipschitz continuous derivative, with K'(0) = 0.
We may then construct a decomposition of the identity, F, for A, from K(t) or . For ϕ ∈ X*, x ∈ X,
,
for almost all t.
