Dichotomy results for norm estimates in operator semigroups

This is a survey paper concerned with strongly continuous semigroups in a Banach algebra (often itself simply the algebra of bounded linear operators on a Banach space). These are defined either on $(0,\infty)$ or on a sector in the complex plane, in which case they are supposed analytic. However, the semigroups are not assumed to be strongly continuous at 0. The results in this survey, beginning with classical theorems of Beurling, Kato and Neuberger and concluding with recent work by the authors, are of the nature of "0-1" laws, indicating that the quantitative behaviour of the semigroup at the origin provides additional qualitative information, such as uniform continuity or analyticity.

Zero-class admissibility of observation operators

An admissible observation operator is zero-class admissible if the norm of the output map tends to zero as the time tends to zero. Sufficient and necessary conditions for zero-class admissibility of observation operators are developed and a modified Weiss condition is studied. It is shown that the modified Weiss condition is in general necessary, but not sufficient for zero-class admissibility. For several important classes of C_0-semigroups it is proved that the modified Weiss condition is indeed equivalent to zero-class admissibility. The methods are illustrated by certain PDE examples.
