The Stone-Čech compactification of discrete semigroups is a tool of central importance in several areas of mathematics, and has been studied extensively. We think of the Stone-Čech compactification of a discrete abelian semigroup G as the set βG of ultrafilters on G, where the point x ∈ G is identified with the principal ultrafilter {A ⊆ G ∣∣x ∈ A}, and the basic open sets are those of the form...

The aim of this paper is to characterize the uniform exponential dichotomy of semigroups of linear operators in terms of the solvability of discrete-time equations over N. We give necessary and sufficient conditions for uniform exponential dichotomy of a semigroup on a Banach space X in terms of the admissibility of the pair (l∞(N, X), c00(N, X)). As an application we deduce that a C0-semigroup...

A theory of semiflows with a discrete acting topological semigroup was developed in the 2000 paper by D. Ellis, R. Ellis and M. Nerurkar ([2]). A theory for the case of an arbitrary acting topological semigroup has still to be developed. This paper can be considered as the beginning of an attempt in that direction. We discuss almost periodicity and G-almost periodicity of points in a semiflow a...

Abstract Probability distributions which can be obtained from superpositions of Gaussian distributions of different variances v = σ2 play a favored role in quantum theory and financial markets. Such superpositions need not necessarily obey the Chapman-Kolmogorov semigroup relation for Markovian processes because they may introduce memory effects. We derive the general form of the smearing distr...

We examine some peculiarities of the subset of lattice preserving elements in a pseudo-Euclidean group, when the lattice under consideration contains a lightlike vector, or more generally, when the restriction of a pseudo-Euclidean metric to the real linear enveloppe of the lattice is not definite. For the case of a Lorentzian metric, it is shown in detail that the isometry group of the spaceti...

The following results (and one or two others like them) are proved in [3]; the continuous-parameter analogues will appear in [4] and some applications will be discussed in [5]. The proofs are based on Sz.-Nagy's group of theorems [9] which show how a discreteor continuous-parameter semigroup of contraction operators on Hilbert space can be "dilated" to a similar semigroup (actually a group) of ...
