Abstract: In this paper we relate the generator property of an operator A with (abstract) generalized Wentzell boundary conditions on a Banach space X and its associated (abstract) Dirichlet-to-Neumann operator N acting on a "boundary" space partialX. Our approach is based on similarity transformations and perturbation arguments and allows to split A into an operator A00 with Dirichlet-type boundary conditions on a space X0 of states having "zero trace" and the operator N. If A00 generates an analytic semigroup, we obtain under a weak Hille--Yosida type condition that A generates an analytic semigroup on X if and only if N does so on partialX. Here we assume that the (abstract) "trace" operator L:XopartialX is bounded what is typically satisfied if X is a space of continuous functions. Concrete applications are made to various second order differential operators.
