asymptotic behavior exponential stability semigroups on locally convex space

Linear differential equations in abstract spaces (34G10) One-parameter semigroups and linear evolution equations (47D06)

Abstract: We study the asymptotics of strongly continuous operator semigroups defined on locally convex spaces in order to develop a stability theory for solutions of evolution equations beyond Banach spaces. In the classical case, there is only little choice for a semigroup's speed in approaching zero uniformly. Indeed, if a strongly continuous semigroup on a Banach space converges to zero uniformly at any speed then it converges already uniformly at exponential speed. Semigroups with this property are said to be exponentially stable. Leaving the Banach space setting, the situation changes entirely; for instance convergence to zero at a speed faster than any polynomial but not exponentially fast is possible. In this article we establish concepts of stability which refine the classical notions and allow to grasp the different kinds of asymptotic behavior. We give characterizations of the new properties, study their relations and consider generic examples like multiplication semigroups and shifts. In addition we apply our results to the transport and the heat equation on classical Fr'echet function spaces.

Review text

The authors consider the abstract Cauchy problem of the form \[ (ACP) \quad\begin{cases} u ' (t ) = Au(t ) \text{ for } t \geq 0,\\ u(0) = u_0 ,\end{cases} \] where \(u :[0, \infty) \to X\) is a vector valued function, \(A : D( A) \to X ( D( A) \subset X )\) is a linear operator and \(X\) is a locally convex space. The authors assume that from the properties of \(A\) the existence of a strongly continuous semigroup of operators \(\{T (t ); t \geq 0\}\) on \(X\) can be deduced such that the classical solutions of (ACP) are given by the trajectories \(u = T (.)u_0\) for \(u_0 \in D( A)\). The asymptotic behaviour of the solution is studied. It is shown that, unlike in a Banach space, in a locally convex space convergence to zero faster than any polynomial can be obtained, but not exponentially fast. Various types of stability properties, e.g., exponential, polynomial, uniform, strong stability are studied in adequate locally convex spaces. More precisely, several stability results and characterizations are given in barrelled, Mackey complete, Baire and Montel spaces. Examples of shift and multiplication semigroups are considered. Remarks on barreledness vs. continuity, on Mackey completeness and exponential boundedness are given. Moreover, applications to evolution equations for the transport equation on the Schwartz space, as well as for the heat equation on the Schwartz space and on the Miyadera's space are presented.
