This is the abstract of the paper "An exponential stability criterion for q-periodic evolution" by C. Buse. For the whole paper send the command get evolve-l 00-00001 to: "listserv@uni-karlsruhe.de". Instead you may get the paper at "http://ma1serv.mathematik.uni-karlsruhe.de/evolve-l/index.html" too. Abstract: We consider a mild solution $u_{\mu x}$ of a well-posed inhomogeneous, Cauchy problem $$\dot u(t)=A(t)u(t)+e^{i\mu t}x\quad (t\ge 0), \mu\in{\bf R}, u(0)=0$$ on a separable Hilbert space $H$, where $A(\cdot)$ is periodic. We prove that if $$\sup\limits_{\mu\in{\bf R}}\sup\limits_{t>0}||u_{\mu x}(t)||<\infty,\quad\forall x\in H$$ then the solution of the Cauchy problem $$\dot u(t)=A(t)u(t)\quad (t\ge 0),\quad u(0)=x\in H$$ is uniformly exponentially stable for every $x\in H.$ The basic idea for the proof is to apply the spectral mapping theorem for an evolution semigroup associated with a $q$-periodic evolution family ${\cal U}$ on a $H$-valued almost periodic functions space. ------------------ http://www.uni-karlsruhe.de/~listserv/ -------------------
