Characterization of Exponential Stability of a Semigroup of Operators in Terms of Its Action by Convolution on Vector-Valued Function Spaces overR+

Abstract It is proved that a C 0 -semigroup T ={ T ( t )} t ⩾0 of linear operators on a Banach space X is uniformly exponentially stable if and only if it acts boundedly on one of the spaces L p ( R + ,  X ) or C 0 ( R + ,  X ) by convolution. As an application, it is shown that T is uniformly exponentially stable if and only if[formula]where AP ( R + ,  X ) is the space of X -valued almost periodic functions on R + .
