Abstract. We obtain quantified versions of Ingham's classical Tauberian theorem and some of its variants by means of a natural modification of Ingham's own simple proof. As corollaries of the main general results, we obtain quantified decay estimates for C0-semigroups. The results reproduce those known in the literature but are both more general and, in one case, sharper. They also lead to a better understanding of the previously obscure "fudge factor" appearing in proofs based on estimating contour integrals.
We investigate rates of decay for C0-semigroups on Hilbert spaces under assumptions on the resolvent growth of the semigroup generator. Our main results show that one obtains the best possible estimate on the rate of decay, that is to say an upper bound which is also known to be a lower bound, under a comparatively mild assumption on the growth behaviour. This extends several statements obtained by Batty, Chill and Tomilov (J. Eur. Math. Soc., vol. 18(4), pp. 2016). In fact, for a large class of semigroups our condition is not only sufficient but also necessary for this optimal estimate to hold. Even without this assumption we obtain a new quantified asymptotic result which in many cases of interest gives a sharper estimate for the rate of decay than was previously available, and for semigroups of normal operators we are able to describe the asymptotic behaviour exactly. We illustrate the strength of our theoretical results by using them to obtain sharp estimates on the rate of energy decay for a wave equation subject to viscoelastic damping at the boundary.2010 Mathematics Subject Classification. 47D06, 34D05, 34G10 (35B40, 35L05, 26A12).
Abstract. We study a simple one-dimensional coupled wave-heat system and obtain a sharp estimate for the rate of energy decay of classical solutions. Our approach is based on the asymptotic theory of C0-semigroups and in particular on a result due to Borichev and Tomilov [10], which reduces the problem of estimating the rate of energy decay to finding a growth bound for the resolvent of the semigroup generator. This technique not only leads to an optimal result, it is also simpler than the methods used by other authors in similar situations.
Abstract. This paper investigates the asymptotic behaviour of solutions to certain infinite systems of ordinary differential equations. In particular, we use results from ergodic theory and the asymptotic theory of C0-semigroups to obtain a characterisation, in terms of convergence of certain Cesàro averages, of those initial values which lead to convergent solutions. Moreover, we obtain estimates on the rate of convergence for solutions whose initial values satisfy a stronger ergodic condition. These results rely on a detailed spectral analysis of the operator describing the system, which is made possible by certain structural assumptions on the operator. The resulting class of systems is sufficiently broad to cover a number of important applications, including in particular both the so-called robot rendezvous problem and an important class of platoon systems arising in control theory. Our method leads to new results in both cases.
Given a power-bounded operator T , the theorem of Katznelson and Tzafriri states that T n (I −T ) → 0 as n → ∞ if and only if the spectrum σ(T ) of T intersects the unit circle T in at most the point 1. This paper investigates the rate at which decay takes place when σ(T ) ∩ T = {1}. The results obtained lead in particular to both upper and lower bounds on this rate of decay in terms of the growth of the resolvent operator R(e iθ , T ) as θ → 0. In the special case of polynomial resolvent growth, these bounds are then shown to be optimal for general Banach spaces but not in the Hilbert space case.
