Abstract: In this paper we survey results concerning the asymptotic properties of C_0-semigroups on Banach spaces with respect to the weak operator topology. The property "no eigenvalues of the generator on the imaginary axis" is equivalent to weak stability for most time values; a phenomenon called "almost weak stability". Further, sufficient conditions actually implying weak stability are also given. By several examples we explain weak and almost weak stability and illustrate the fundamental difference between them. Many historical and bibliographical remarks position the material in the literature. We conclude the paper with some open questions and comments.


The authors survey the known results on weak asymptotic behavior of \(C_0\)-semigroups and propose several ideas for further research. Let \(\{T(t)\}_{t\geq 0}\) be a \(C_0\)-semigroup generated by the operator \(A\) on a Banach space \(X\). First, with regard to the almost weak stability, i.e., \(0\) is a weak accumulation point of the orbit \(\{T(t)x: t\geq 0\}\) for every \(x\in X\), the authors give several equivalent conditions, among which the classical characteristics ``no eigenvalues of the generator in the imaginary axis is stated. Next, sufficient conditions for weak stability are also given. Finally, by giving several examples (and counterexamples), the authors explain weak and almost weak stability and illustrate the fundamental difference between them.
