Spectral analysis of linear differential operators and semigroups of finite-difference operators. II (Q5951190)

In a previous paper [\textit{A. G. Baskakov}, Differ. Equations 33, 1305-1312 (1997; Zbl 0929.34065)], the author defined two linear operators \(\mathcal L_U\) and \(\mathcal L_V\), on the basis of two strongly continuous families \(\mathcal U\) of backward evolution operators and \(\mathcal V\) of forward evolution operators, respectively, in an algebra of bounded linear operators on a certain Banach space. As the invertibility of these operators was already studied in the paper quoted above, in the present paper necessary and sufficient conditions for the operators \(\mathcal L_U\) and \(\mathcal L_V\) to be surjective are given. These conditions, which are less restrictive than those characterizing the invertibility, often imply the existence of right or left inverses for \(\mathcal L_U\) and \(\mathcal L_V\), respectively, which are constructed via an exponential dichotomy of the families \(\mathcal U\) and \(\mathcal V\).
