Lumer-Phillips-type theorem for non-autonomous evolutions

The classical Lumer-Phillips theorem characterizes the generators of contraction semigroups. I am looking for a similar characterization or at least a sufficient condition for a family of unbounded, ...

approximation of a Feller semi-group with the infinitesimal generator

Let $T_t$ a Feller semigroup (see this) and let $(A,D(A))$ its infinitesimal generator. If A is a bounded operator it is easy to show that the Feller semi-group is $e^{tA}$. Is this formula always ...

Spectrum of an elliptic operator in divergence form with a reflecting boundary condition

Let $\Omega$ be a bounded open domain and $v:\Omega\to\mathbb{R}^n$. Consider the following elliptic operator in divergence form, defined on smooth functions $u: \Omega \to \mathbb{R}$ \begin{align} L ...

What types of semigroups have a Laplacean type operator as infinitesimal generator?

Let $\Omega\subseteq\mathbb{R}^N$ be an open, bounded connected set having Lipschitz uniform boundary. Moreover let $d\in L^{\infty}(\Omega,\mathbb{R}^M),\ d_1(x),d_2(x),\dots, d_M(x)>d>0,\ \...

Why we use Caputo fractional derivative in application?

I'm working on some papers which use Caputo fractional evolution equation (see on Wikipedia) as application for thier main result: For example: $$\left\{\begin{matrix} ^CD^{\sigma}_tx(t)+Ax(t)=&...

Pullback via flow as operator group

Let $X$ be a vector field on a manifold $M$ that induces a complete flow $\Theta_t$. Then the operator family $\Theta_t^*$, $$\Theta_t^*u(x) = u(\Theta_t(x))$$ is a strongly continuous semigroup of ...
