Quasi-sectorial contractions (Q924656)

This paper gives a new approach to quasi-sectorial contractions, which were introduced by \textit{V. Cachia} and the author [J. Funct. Anal. 180, No. 1, 176--194 (2001; Zbl 0981.47015)] to study the operator norm approximations of a semigroup. In this paper, the author revises the notion of quasi-sectorial contractions and establishes a relation between semigroups of quasi-sectorial contractions and a class of \(m\)-sectorial generators. Also, he discusses a relevance of this kind of contractions to the theory of operator-norm approximations of strongly continuous semigroups.
