On a bound for the norm of certain operator function (Q1909808)

Let \(A\) be a densely defined closed linear operator in a Banach space \(X\). Assume that the resolvent set \(\rho (A)\) contains the closure of the region \(\Omega (a, \alpha)\), bounded by the curves \(\lambda=- s\pm ia(s+ 1)^\alpha\) \((s\geq 0)\) and the semi-circle \(\lambda= ae^{it}\) \((|t|\leq {\pi \over 2})\), where \(a>0\) and \(\alpha\in \mathbb{R}\), and that the resolvent \(R(\lambda)= (\lambda I-A )^{-1}\) satisfies an inequality \(|R(\lambda) |\leq C_0 (|\lambda |+1 )^{-\gamma}\), \(\gamma\leq 1\), on \(\overline {\Omega (a, \alpha)}\). In this setting the powers \(A^z\), \(z\in \mathbb{C}\) are well-defined. The paper presents estimates for \(|A^z R^m (\lambda) |\) on \(\overline {\Omega (a, \alpha)}\) in terms of \(|\lambda |\). In several cases these estimates cannot be improved. An application to a differential equation \({{dx} \over {dt}} =-Ax+ CA^z x\) is presented, where \(A: x(\mu)\to \mu x(\mu)\) is a multiplication operator in some \({\mathcal L}_p\)-space \(X\) and \(C\in L(X)\) commutes with \(A\). The translation of the paper could have been better.
