On Stepanov-almost periodic semigroups and cosine functions of operators (Q2640116)

Let X denote a complex Banach space and \({\mathcal B}(X)\) the space of linear bounded operators on X, I the real line or \([0,\infty)\), \(C_ b(I,X)\) the Banach space of bounded continuous functions form I into X, with uniform convergence norm, \(C_ 0({\mathbb{R}}^+,X)\) the space of continuous functions vanishing at infinity. Definition 1. A continuous function \(f: I\to X\) is called almost periodic (a.p.) in the Bohr's sense, if for every \(\epsilon >0\), there exists a set \(P_{\epsilon}\), relatively dense in I, such that \(\| f(t+\tau)- f(t)\| \leq \epsilon\) for every \(t\in I\) and \(\tau \in P_{\epsilon}.\) Definition 2. A continuous function \(f: {\mathbb{R}}^+\to X\) is called asymptotically almost periodic (a.a.p.) if \(f(t)=g(t)+q(t)\), \(g\in a.p.(R,X)\), \(q\in C_ 0({\mathbb{R}}^+,X)\), \(t>0.\) Definition 3. A function \(f\in L^ b_{loc}(I,X)\) is p-Stepanov bounded \((S^ p\)-bounded), if \(\sup_{t\in I}(\int^{t+1}_{t}\| f(s)\|^ pds)^{1/p}<\infty.\) This function is called almost periodic in the sense of Stepanov \((S^ p\)-a.p.) if the function \(\tilde f: I\to L^ p([0,1],X)\), \(\tilde f(t)(s)=f(t+s)\), \(t\in I\), \(s\in [0,1]\), is almost periodic [\textit{M. Amerio} and \textit{G. Prouse}, ``Almost periodic functions and functional equations'' (1971; Zbl 0215.157)]. The author shows that for strongly continuous semigroups T asymptotic \(S^ p\)-a.p. implies a.a.p. For strongly continuous cosine operator functions C, the two properties \(S^ p\)-a.p. and a.a.p. are equivalent, \(1\leq p<\infty\) [also refer \textit{H. Bart} and \textit{S. Goldberg}, Math.
