Semigroup operator

Semigroup operator approach advantages coming from the use of more sophisticated mathematics... 

At least two kinds of advantages come from the use of the semigroup operator approach. First, a mathematically justified approximation of discontinuous processes by continuous processes can be obtained. Second, not only models for purely temporal processes (e.g. pure chemical reactions) can be given, but stochastic models of spatio-temporal phenomena (e.g. chemical reactions with diffusion) can be defined in a mathematically concise manner. The celebrated monograph on the modern approach to Markov processes is still Dynkin s book (1965), and for chemical applications see Arnold Kotelenez (1981).

The trace is taken over the bath only, as in (1.15), thereby reducing the operator in Hx to an operator in Hs. This equation defines a mapping of ps(0) onto ps(t). However, this mapping is contingent on the special choice for pB(0) and cannot, therefore be utilized again to get, e.g., ps(2r) from ps(t). There is no semigroup property and no differential equation of the type...

Models for the dissipative dynamics can frequently be based on the assumption of fast decay of memory effects, due to the presence of many degrees of freedom in the s-region. This is the usual Markoff assumption of instantaneous dissipation. Two such models give the Lindblad form of dissipative rates, and rates from dissipative potentials. The Lindblad-type expression was originally derived using semigroup properties of time-evolution operators in dissipative systems. [45, 46] It has been rederived in a variety of ways and implemented in applications. [47, 48] It is given in our notation by... 

Following Ref. [73] we describe first the steps before we comment on the mathematical results. Let us start with an isometric semigroup, G(f) t > 0, appropriately defined in the Hilbert space fi. If there exists a contractive semigroup SG t > 0 (defined on fi) and an invertible linear operator A, with its domain and range both dense in k, such that... 

Yet, there is something fundamental to discuss here. Recent developments of non-selfadjoint extensions of the Hamiltonian/Liouvillian dynamics, whether the focus is on dilatation analytic, self-adjoint families of operators [4] or concerns semigroup constructions [5] of the associated evolution operator, calls for the immediate incorporation of general classical canonical forms of the Jordan type, see Ref. [3] for details. 

An alternative interpretation of the functional equation (5.8) is to identify it as the defining relation of the group operation associated with the semigroup of scaling transformations (5.7). The variable x then plays the... 

Since the general solution of (11) is A = f(d + t), evidently (11) corresponds to a one-parameter semigroup of non-negative linear operators. That is, for each > 0, a linear transformation Tt is defined which carries everywhere non-negative ("physically permissible ) neutron distributions into nonnegative distributions, and verifies the semigroup property TtTu =... 

MathematicaUy, the latter formulation is easier to treat, basicaUy because integral operators are smoother than integro-differential operators (i.e., than the infinitesimal generators Q of the continuous semigroups involved). Though they are singular, they can be smoothed by iteration so as to become uniformly positive. Hence they are uniformly primitive, in all cases which I have studied. 

What we have seen that continuous semigroups can define linear operators and evolution equations for motions in rather abstract spaces. A diffusion process might be defined by the infinitesimal generator ... 

As we have pointed out at several instances the present equations are essentially analogous to the development of suitable master equations in statistical mechanics [4-7], where the wavefunction here plays the role of suitable probability distributions. Note for instance the similarity between the reduced resolvent, based on J-[ (z), and the collision operator of the Prigogine subdynamics. The eigenvalues of the latter define the spectral contributions corresponding to the projector that defines the map of an arbitrary initial distribution onto a kinetic space obeying semigroup evolution laws, for more details we refer to Ref. [6] and the following section. 

For all fractional operators, the rules of classical derivatives and integrals (linearity, semigroup, Leibniz rule, etc.) hold. 

Still apply also for fractional order operators including semigroup properties, integration by parts, etc. Moreover, in Fourier and Laplace domains, RL fractional operators exactly behave like the classical derivatives and integrals. Such an example, by denoting the Fourier transform operator of f(t) as Pyr coi) defined as... 

The semigroup theory results in a quantum mechanical Markovian master equation for the evolution of the density operator p. Ceijan and Kosloff [164] introduced the dissipative Liouville operator [165], which in the Heisenberg representation yields the equations of motion for an operator O as...
