On multiplicative perturbation of integral resolvent families (Q860671)

The paper deals with multiplicative perturbation for the generator of a strongly continuous integral resolvent family of bounded linear operators defined on a Banach space \(X\). Let \(A\) be a closed linear operator in \(X\) with dense domain and \(a\in L^1_{\text{loc}}(\mathbb{R}_+)\). Assuming that \(a(t)\) is a creep function which satisfies \(a(0^+)>0\), the authors prove that if \((A,a)\) generates an integral resolvent, then \((A(I+B),\,a)\) also generates an integral resolvent for all \(B\in \mathcal{B}(X,Z)\), where \(Z\) is a Banach space continuously embedded in \(X\) which satisfies certain conditions. In the special case that \(a(t)\equiv 1\), the result extends some known ones for the generators of \(C_0\)-semigroups.
