Dissipative holomorphic functions, Bloch radii, and the Schwarz lemma (Q5926436)

The authors define the notion of dissipative holomorphic functions in such a way that generalizes the usual definition for linear operators. The main result is the following extension of the Lumer-Phillips theorem. Theorem. Let \(B\) be the open ball of a complex Banach space \(X\) and let \(h:B \to X\) be holomorphic. Then \(h\) is dissipative if and only if \((I-th)(B) \supseteq B\) and \((I-th)^{-1}\) is a well-defined holomorphic mapping of \(B\) into itself for each \(t \geq 0\). In order to prove this theorem they show several theorems and lemmata. At this the notions of numerical range and Bloch radii play an importent role.
