Growth bounds for strongly continuous semigroups #
This file contains exponential growth bounds for C₀-semigroups, including the contraction case and the existence of a finite exponential type.
The uniform operator bound this provides also yields strong continuity of (u, x) ↦ S u x in
both arguments at once (StronglyContinuousSemigroup.tendsto_realOperator_apply and its
ContinuousOn form StronglyContinuousSemigroup.continuousOn_realOperator_apply), which does
not follow from continuity of u ↦ S u alone.

Exponential growth bounds #
A C₀-semigroup has exponential growth bound (ω, M), with M ≥ 1.

The multiplicative constant in a growth bound is at least one.
The operator-norm estimate supplied by a growth bound.
Constructor for a growth bound from the multiplicative lower bound and operator-norm estimate.
A growth bound can be weakened by increasing both the exponential rate and the multiplicative constant.
A growth bound can be weakened by increasing the exponential rate.
A growth bound controls the semigroup on [0, t₀] by the envelope
M * exp (max ω 0 * t₀). Replacing the signed rate ω by max ω 0 makes the envelope
nondecreasing in the time, so the bound at t₀ covers every earlier nonnegative t.
A growth bound can be weakened by increasing the multiplicative constant.
A contraction semigroup has growth bound (0, 1).
A contraction semigroup has every nonnegative exponential growth rate with constant 1.
A contraction semigroup has growth bound (0, M) for every M ≥ 1.
A contraction semigroup has growth bound (ω, M) whenever 0 ≤ ω and 1 ≤ M.
Growth Bounds and Exponential Type #
Every C₀-semigroup has a finite exponential growth bound ([EN] Prop. I.5.5, [Linares] Thm. 1).
A C₀-semigroup admits a growth bound with exponent at least any prescribed real number.
A C₀-semigroup admits a growth bound with multiplicative constant at least any prescribed real number.
A C₀-semigroup admits a growth bound whose exponent and multiplicative constant are both at least prescribed lower bounds.
Joint strong continuity #
Joint strong continuity: if f i → r through nonnegative values and g i → z, then
S (f i) (g i) → S r z.
A C₀-semigroup is strongly, not uniformly, continuous, so this does not follow from continuity
of u ↦ S.realOperator u alone; the proof combines strong continuity at r with the uniform
operator bound supplied by a growth bound.
The ContinuousOn form of joint strong continuity: a continuous nonnegative time
reparametrization applied to a continuous vector-valued map gives a continuous orbit.
