Generalized Evolution Semigroups and $h-$Dichotomies for Evolution Families on Banach Spaces
This paper develops a comprehensive theory generalizing exponential decay patterns for evolution processes in Banach spaces. We replace classical exponential bounds with more flexible decay rates governed by an increasing homeomorphism $h$. The core of our approach lies in constructing particular group structures induced by $h$, which allow us to define generalized semigroups on function spaces. We prove that these $h$-semigroups are equivalent to classical evolution semigroups through a natural transformation. Our main result establishes that three fundamental concepts are equivalent: hyperbolicity of the generalized semigroup, dichotomy of the underlying evolution process, and a spectral condition on the generator. This work extends classical dichotomy theory to encompass a wider class of decay patterns, providing new tools for analyzing asymptotic behavior in dynamical systems.
