Operator Semigroups: Definitions, Properties and Applications
Ngoc Thanh Nguyên · TopSCHOLAR (Western Kentucky University) · 2006
A large part of contemporary natural science is concerned with investigating the motion of systems in time with a determined state space. To conduct this investigation, we study the theory of one-parameter semigroups. The theory is developed from the simplest scalar case and finite dimensional case to semigroups of linear operators on Banach spaces which started in the first half of the last century. This thesis is designed to give a basic introduction to semigroup theory and its application. Some proofs and illustrative examples are provided.
