Abstract
Hypercyclicity of C0-semigroups is a very unstable property: We give examples to show that adding arbitrary small constants or a bounded rank one operator to the generator of a hypercyclic semigroup can destroy hypercyclicity. Also the limit of hypercyclic semigroups (even in operator norm topology) need not be hypercyclic, and a hypercyclic semigroup can be the limit of nonhypercyclic ones. Hypercyclicity is not inherited by the Yosida approximations. Finally, the restriction of a hypercyclic nonnegative semigroup in a Banach lattice to the positive cone may be far from hypercyclic.

What is OpenURL?

The OpenURL standard is a protocol for transmission of metadata describing the resource that you wish to access. An OpenURL link contains article metadata and directs it to the OpenURL server of your choice. The OpenURL server can provide access to the resource and also offer complementary services (specific search engine, export of references...). The OpenURL link can be generated by different means.
  • If your librarian has set up your subscription with an OpenURL resolver, OpenURL links appear automatically on the abstract pages.
  • You can define your own OpenURL resolver with your EDPS Account. In this case your choice will be given priority over that of your library.
  • You can use an add-on for your browser (Firefox or I.E.) to display OpenURL links on a page (see http://www.openly.com/openurlref/). You should disable this module if you wish to use the OpenURL server that you or your library have defined.
