Generators of strongly continuous semigroups #
This file defines the infinitesimal generator as a LinearPMap, exposes domain
membership through the explicit right-difference-quotient limit, and proves the local
orbit-integral lemmas giving density of the generator domain.

The Infinitesimal Generator #
The domain D(A) of the generator, as a ℝ-submodule of X.
Equations

Instances For
The infinitesimal generator A as an unbounded operator (LinearPMap),
A x = lim_{t→0⁺} (S t x - x)/t on the domain D(A) where the limit exists
([EN] Def. II.1.2). Modelled as X →ₗ.[ℝ] X so it composes with Mathlib's
unbounded-operator API.
Equations
Instances For
S.generator.domain is the generator domain submodule.
A vector lies in the generator domain iff its difference quotient (S t x - x)/t
converges as t → 0⁺ ([EN] Def. II.1.2).
Characteristic property of the generator: for x in the domain, the difference
quotient (S t x - x)/t converges to S.generator x as t → 0⁺ ([EN] Def. II.1.2).
The generator difference quotient, rebased at s: the defining quotient of S.generator at
x (generator_tendsto), precomposed with u ↦ u - s so that it approaches s from the right
rather than 0.
Eliminator for the generator: if the difference quotient (S t x - x)/t of an
x ∈ D(A) converges to y, then A x = y.
If the generator difference quotient of every vector of A.domain converges to A x, then
A is a restriction of the generator.
If every generator difference quotient converges to L x for a linear operator L, then
the generator domain is the whole space and the generator is L as a total LinearPMap.
The integral average (1/t) • ∫_{(0,t]} S(u)x du of the orbit tends to x as t → 0⁺.
The local orbit integral ∫₀ᵗ S(u)x du lies in the generator domain D(A)
([EN] Lemma II.1.3).
The generator value on the local orbit integral: A (∫₀ᵗ S(u)x du) = S t x - x
([EN] Lemma II.1.3).
The generator domain of a strongly continuous semigroup is dense ([EN] Lemma II.1.3 and its density corollary).
Two continuous linear maps that agree on the (dense) generator domain are equal.
