Abstract: This paper provides sharp lower estimates near the origin for the functional calculus F(−uA) of a generator A of an operator semigroup defined on the (strictly) positive real line; here F is given as the Laplace transform of a measure or distribution. The results are linked to the existence of an identity element or an exhaustive sequence of idempotents in the Banach algebra generated by the semigroup. Both the quasinilpotent and non-quasinilpotent cases are considered, and sharp results are proved extending many in the literature.


First we quote two paragraphs from the Introduction of the paper under review: ``This article is concerned with estimates for \(F(-uA)\) where \(A\) is the generator of a strongly continuous semigroup \((T(t))_{t>0}\) on a Banach space. Here \(F\) is an entire function with \(F(0) =0\), given as the Laplace transform of a measure or distribution; the functional calculus defining \(F(-uA)\) is given by means of an integral. ``There are two cases to consider, namely, the quasinilpotent and non-quasinilpotent cases, and the techniques used are based on strong maximum principles for analytic functions. The main result given in the quasinilpotent case reads as follows. Let \(\mu\) be a regular Borel measure having compact support contained in \((0,\infty)\) such that \(\int_{0}^{\infty}d\mu(t)=0\) and let \(F\) be its Laplace transform. Let \((T(t))_{t>0}\) be a nontrivial strongly continuous quasinilpotent semigroup of bounded operators on a Banach space \(X\). Then there is an \(\eta>0\) such that \(\| F(-sA)\| > \max_{x\geq 0}|F(x)|\) for all \(s\in (0,\eta]\). For the results related to the non-quasinilpotent case, the reader is referred to the original paper.
