Chapter 3<br />

Log estimate using<br />

Lyapunov equations<br />

3.1 Overview<br />

In Chapter 1 we have seen that for a bounded semigroup on a Banach space<br />

the powers of the corresponding cogenerator do not grow faster that √ n.<br />

In [20], Gomilko proved that for bounded semigroups on a Hilbert space this<br />

estimate can be improved to ln(n + 1). In this chapter, we obtain a similar<br />

result. However, only for exponentially stable semigroups. Our proof is<br />

very different than that of Gomilko and it is based on Lyapunov equations.<br />

The result is:<br />

Theorem 3.1 Let operator A generate the exponentially stable C0-semigroup<br />

� eAt� on the Hilbert space X. Furthermore, let M and ω > 0 be<br />

t≥0<br />

such that �e At � ≤ Me −ωt . Then for the n-th power of its cogenerator Ad,<br />

the following estimate holds:<br />

�A n � �<br />

M√2 M√ω<br />

�<br />

d � ≤ 1 + 2M + + 1 + (2log n − 1) M 2 + √ �<br />

2M . (3.1)<br />

The most important term on the right-hand side is the 2log n-term. This is<br />

the part that depends on n and indicates the growth of �An d � as n → ∞.<br />

In the 2log n-term depends quadratically on M. This is the same as in the<br />

proof of Gomilko, where the ln(n + 1)-term depends quadratically on M,<br />

the bound of the semigroup.<br />
