Extract

In a recent paper (4) concerned with the study of ‘fundamental operators’, we have obtained results involving the resolvents of the generators of some semi-groups of operators in Lp (− ∞, ∞). In this paper we consider those results which, under suitable conditions, can be extended to cases where the resolvents do not necessarily form a class of fundamental operators. The main results of this type, given in Theorems 2·7 and 2·8, involve inequalities between members of the semi-group and the resolvent of the generators. The semi-groups to which the main results apply include those denned by the Poisson and the Gauss–Weierstrass operators.
