Semigroups of operators on the space of generalized functions exp \({\mathcal A}'\) (Q919600)

A reflexive, barrelled distribution space exp \({\mathcal A}'\) associated to a linear differential selfadjoint operator \({\mathcal R}\) in \(L^ 2\) is studied. It is proved that such distributions allow a series expansion with respect to the orthonormal set of eigenvectors of \({\mathcal R}.\) This enables the author to characterize some semigroups of operators on exp \({\mathcal A}'\), in particular on exp \({\mathcal P}'\), where \({\mathcal P}'\) are the periodic distributions. Using these results, one can solve a class of Cauchy problems.
