A note on perturbations of $C_0$-semigroups

Abstract

This article deals with a variation of constants type inequality for semigroups acting consistently on a scale of Banach spaces. This inequality can be characterized by a corresponding (easy to verify) inequality for their generators. The results have applications to heat kernel estimates and provide a unified perspective to estimates of these type. Moreover, bi-continuous semigroups can be treated as well.
