Moreover, the sequence (A^n) converges with respect to the strong operator topology and for each functional $f\\in X'$ the sequence $((A^*)^n(f))$ converges with respect to the weak*-topology (Theorem 5). If a positive bounded $C_0$-semigroup of linear continuous operators $(S_t)_{t\\geq 0}$ on a Banach space contains a compact operator and the trajectories of the non-zero vectors $x\\in K$ have the property from above then, in particular, $(S_t)$ and $(S^*_t)$ converge to their limit operator with repsect to the operator norm, respectively (Theorem 4). For weakly compact Markov operators in the space of real continuous functions on a compact topological space a corresponding result can be derived, that characterizes the long-term behaviour of regular Markov chains.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2019-01-14T16:27:55.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "46B40", "47B65", "47D06", "37A30" ], "keywords": [ "asymptotic behaviour", "positive semigroups", "regular markov chains", "strong operator topology", "weakly compact markov operators" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 19, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
