Let \(H\) be a complex Hilbert space, \(T(t)\) a type \((1,A)\) semigroup of operators on \(H\). Suppose that \(A\) is the infinitesimal generator of \(T(t)\). The type \((1,A)\) semigroup \(T(t)\) is called exponentially stable if there exist positive numbers \(M\) and \(\sigma\) such that for \(t\geq 1\), \(\| T(t)\|\leq M e^{-\sigma t}\). For a type \((1,A)\) semigroup satisfying the condition \(\int^ 1_ 0 \| T(t)\|^ 2 dt<+\infty\), the author answers an open problem raised by Pritchard and Zabezyk and proves that \(T(t)\) is exponentially stable iff there exists \(p\geq 1\) such that for all \(x,y\in H\), \(\int^{+\infty}_ 1 |(T(t)x,y)|^ p dt<+\infty\).
