Uniqueness of \(C _{0}\)-semigroups on a general locally convex vector space and an application (Q637614)

In this paper, the authors generalize a well known result due to \textit{W. Arendt} [in: R. Nagel (ed.), ``One-parameter semigroups of positive operators'', Lecture Notes in Mathematics 1184. Berlin etc.: Springer-Verlag (1986; Zbl 0585.47030), \url{doi:10.1007/BFb0074924}, Theorem 1.33, p. 46]. Their result concerns the uniqueness of \(C_0\)-semigroups in the setting of general locally convex vector spaces. More precisely, they prove that the cores are the only domains of uniqueness for \(C_0\)-semigroups on locally convex spaces. They apply their result to the mass transport equation and they find a necessary and sufficient condition for the uniqueness of an \(L^1\) weak solution of such an equation.
