\(C_0\)-semigroups and cosine families of linear operators in hereditarily indecomposable Banach spaces (Q4258692)

The aim of this paper is the investigation of infinitesimal generators of \(C_0\)-groups and \(C_0\)-semigroups in hereditarily indecomposable Banach spaces. The generator of a \(C_0\)-group in such spaces is always a bounded operator. For generators of \(C_0\)-semigroups this is generally not true. It was shown by the authors in their earlier publication. This paper is a continuation of this investigation. It is shown that certain classes of \(C_0\)-semigroups in hereditarily indecomposable Banach spaces have the property that the infinitesimal generator is always a bounded operator. Such semigroups are \(C_0\)-semigroups of hermitian operators and \(C_0\)-semigroups of isometries, for instance. It is also shown that the infinitesimal generator of any strongly continuous, non-quasianalytic cosine family in a hereditarily indecomposable Banach space is a bounded operator. If, in addition, the cosine family has polynomial growth, then its generator \(A\) has the property that \((A-\lambda_AI)^n\) is compact for some positive integer \(n\).
