On the exponential stability of \(C_0\)-semigroups on Banach spaces with compact perturbations (Q1300594)

Let \(X\) be a Banach space, and let \(T(t)\) be a \(C_0\)-semigroup in \(X\) with generator \(A\). If \(B\) is another operator in \(X\), one denotes by \(T_B(t)\) the semigroup generated by \(A+B\). Recall that \(T(t)\) is called asymptotically (resp. exponentially) stable if \(\lim_{t\to\infty} T(t)x= 0\) for every \(x\in X\) (resp. \(\|T(t)\|\leq Me^{-\omega t}\), \(t\geq 0\), for some constants \(M\geq 0\), \(\omega>0\). The author shows that if (i) \(T_B(t_0)- T(t_0)\) is compact for a certain \(t_0> 0\), (ii) \(T(t)\) is asymptotically stable, and (iii) \(T_B(t)\) is exponentially stable, then \(T\) is also exponentially stable. Some related examples are also given.
