Contraction semigroups in Lebesgue space

Ryōtarō Satō

Vol. 78 (1978), No. 1, 251–259
Abstract

Let (Tt : t > 0) be a strongly continuous semigroup of linear contractions on L1(X,Σ), where (X,Σ) is a σ-finite measure space. Without assuming the initial continuity of the semigroup it is shown that (Tt : t > 0) is dominated by a strongly continuous semigroup (St : t > 0) of positive linear contractions on L1(X,Σ), i.e., that |Ttf|St|f| holds a.e. on X for all f L1(X,Σ) and all t > 0. As an application, a representation of (Tt : t > 0) in terms of (St : t > 0) is obtained, and the question of the almost everywhere convergence of 1∕b 0bTtf dt as b +0 is considered.
