Eventually norm continuous semigroups on Hilbert space and perturbations. (Q1425129)

A \(C_0\)-semigroup \(T(t)= e^{At}\) is called eventually norm continuous (ENC) if there exists \(t_0\geq 0\) such that \(T(t)\) is norm continuous for \(t> t_0\). Hilbert space ENC semigroups were characterized in terms of the resolvent of the generator \(A\) by \textit{O. Blasco} and \textit{J. Martínez} [Arch. Math. 66, No. 6, 470--478 (1996; Zbl 0858.47023)] and \textit{L. Zhang} [Syst. Sci. Math. Sci. 12, No. 1, 49--54 (1999; Zbl 0971.47027)]. The author gives here a new characterization of Hilbert space ENC semigroups in terms of a spectral decomposition of the resolvent. He also shows that the property ENC is preserved by certain bounded perturbations.
