Abstract

This chapter covers fundamental results on the spectral theory, including Fredholm alternative theorem and Nussbaum’s theorem on the radius of essential spectrum for bounded linear operators; growth bound and essential growth bound of linear operators; the relationship between the spectrum of semigroups and the spectrum of their infinitesimal generators; spectral decomposition of the state space; and asynchronous exponential growth of linear operators. The estimates of growth bound and essential growth bound of linear operators will be used in proving the center manifold theorem in Chapter 6
