Lumer-Phillips Theorem for non-contraction semigroups?

221 Views Asked by At

Let $H$ be a closed operator on a Hilbert space $\mathcal H$. The Lumer-Phillips theorem states that $H$ is a generator of a one-parameter contraction semigroup if and only if

$\Re\langle H\psi,\psi\rangle\leq 0$ for all $\psi\in\mathcal H$ and

there exists at most one $z$ in $\rho(H)$ with $\Re z>0$.

In particular, the numerical range of $H$ plays an important role in determining wether $H$ generates a contraction semigroup. My question: Does there exist a theorem relating the numerical range of an operator to it being a generator of an arbitrary bounded semigroup (not necessarily one of contractions)?
