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 />
