Lower estimates near the origin for functional calculus on operator semigroups (Q2517360)

First we quote two paragraphs from the Introduction of the paper under review: ``This article is concerned with estimates for \(F(-uA)\) where \(A\) is the generator of a strongly continuous semigroup \((T(t))_{t>0}\) on a Banach space. Here \(F\) is an entire function with \(F(0) =0\), given as the Laplace transform of a measure or distribution; the functional calculus defining \(F(-uA)\) is given by means of an integral. ``There are two cases to consider, namely, the quasinilpotent and non-quasinilpotent cases, and the techniques used are based on strong maximum principles for analytic functions.'' The main result given in the quasinilpotent case reads as follows. Let \(\mu\) be a regular Borel measure having compact support contained in \((0,\infty)\) such that \(\int_{0}^{\infty}d\mu(t)=0\) and let \(F\) be its Laplace transform. Let \((T(t))_{t>0}\) be a nontrivial strongly continuous quasinilpotent semigroup of bounded operators on a Banach space \(X\). Then there is an \(\eta>0\) such that \(\| F(-sA)\| > \max_{x\geq 0}|F(x)|\) for all \(s\in (0,\eta]\). For the results related to the non-quasinilpotent case, the reader is referred to the original paper.
