Dissipativity of the delay semigroup

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: Under mild conditions a delay semigroup can be transformed into a (generalized) contraction semigroup by modifying the inner product on the (Hilbert) state space into an equivalent inner product. Applications to stability of differential equations with delay and stochastic differential equations with delay are given as examples.


This work proposes a model to study some differential equations with delay via contraction semigroups. A strongly continuous semigroup is a contraction semigroup if and only if the infinitesimal generator of the semigroup is dissipative. So, it is important to establish conditions which ensure that an operator is dissipative. The main idea of this paper is to construct a specific inner product such that the considered operator is dissipative with respect to this inner product. The last part of the paper contains some applications such as stability of delay differential equations and stochastic evolution equations.
