The spectral mapping property of delay semigroups (Q941071)

This paper is concerned with the abstract delay equation \(u'(t)=Bu(t)+\sum_{j=1}^{k}C_ju(t-h_j)\), \(t\geq 0\), in a Banach space \(X\), where \(B\) is the generator of a strongly continuous semigroup on \(X\), \(C_j\) are bounded linear operators on \(X\), \(h_j\in \alpha \mathbb{Q}\) for some \(\alpha\in \mathbb{R}\) and all \(j=1,\dots,k\). A sufficient condition is given for the associated delay semigroup to possess the spectral mapping property.
