Analytic continuation and stability of operator semigroups (Q2565909)

The purpose of this paper is to present two new criteria which imply that an analytic function defined on the region \(\{ z \in \mathbb{C} \mid -1 \leq \text{Re}\,z, \text{Im}z \leq 1 \} \setminus [-1,1]\) extends analytically through the interval \([-1,1]\). If \(F(z):=f(z) - f(\overline{z})\), the authors asume \(| F| \leq | G| | H| \), where \(G\) satisfies an integral condition and \(H\) pointwise convergence conditions. The proof requires two maximum principles: Gabriel's maximum principle for harmonic functions, and Dahlberg's maximum principle for subharmonic functions on the unit disc of the complex plane. The authors present several applications of their main results to the stability of \(C_0\)-semigroups of operators on Banach spaces with Fourier type \(p \in [1,2]\). This part of the paper can be considered as a continuation of the article published by the authors in [Math. Proc. Camb. Philos. Soc. 135, 493--511 (2003; Zbl 1064.47042)]. The paper concludes with similar results about the behaviour of orbits of power operators bounded on a Banach space with Fourier type \(p \in [1,2]\).
