Spectrum and convergence of eventually positive operator semigroups

Operator Semigroups for Convergence Analysis

The paper serves as a review on the basic results showing how functional analytic tools have been applied in numerical analysis. It deals with abstract Cauchy problems and present how their solutions are approximated by using space and time discretisations. To this end we introduce and apply the basic notions of operator semigroup theory. The convergence is analysed through the famous theorems ...

A General Theorem on the Convergence of Operator Semigroups

In all of these theorems the notion of convergence used in (1-1) and (1-2) has essentially been strong convergence. It is the purpose of the present paper to prove analogous theorems for a certain class of notions of convergence, which will include, in the case of Banach spaces of functions with the sup norm, bounded, pointwise convergence, and convergence of bounded sequences which is uniform ...

compactifications and representations of transformation semigroups

this thesis deals essentially (but not from all aspects) with the extension of the notion of semigroup compactification and the construction of a general theory of semitopological nonaffine (affine) transformation semigroup compactifications. it determines those compactification which are universal with respect to some algebric or topological properties. as an application of the theory, it is i...

Minimal eventually positive realizations of externally positive systems

It is a well-know fact that externally positive linear systems may fail to have a minimal positive realization. In order to investigate these cases, we introduce the notion of minimal eventually positive realization, for which the state update matrix becomes positive after a certain power. Eventually positive realizations capture the idea that in the impulse response of an externally positive s...
