%0 Journal Article %T Subordinated discrete semigroups of operators %A Nick Dungey %J Mathematics %D 2008 %I arXiv %X Given a power-bounded linear operator T in a Banach space and a probability F on the non-negative integers, one can form a `subordinated' operator S = \sum_k F(k) T^k. We obtain asymptotic properties of the subordinated discrete semigroup (S^n: n=1,2,...) under certain conditions on F. In particular, we study probabilities F with the property that S satisfies the Ritt resolvent condition whenever T is power-bounded. Examples and counterexamples of this property are discussed. The hypothesis of power-boundedness of T can sometimes be replaced by the weaker Kreiss resolvent condition. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/0801.4557v1
