Abstract

We consider the one-parameter family of linear operators that A. Belleni Morante recently introduced and called B-bounded semigroups. We first determine all the properties possessed by a couple (A,B) of operators if they generate a B-bounded semigroup (Y(t))t0. Then we determine the simplest further property of the couple (A,B) which can assure the existence of a C0-semigroup (T(t))t0 such that for all t0,fD(B) we can write Y(t)f=T(t)Bf. Furthermore, we compare our result with the previous ones and finally we show how our method allows to improve the theory developed by Banasiak for solving implicit evolution equations.
