Notes:
Let two strongly continuous one-parameter semigroups of contraction operators, {Z(t); t≧ 0} and {Z0(t); t ≧ 0}, determine physical evolutions realized in the Hilbert spaces ℋ and ℋ0, respectively. We consider the mappings under Z(t) and Z0(t), when the infinitesimal generators G and G0 belong to a product class, properly defined with respect to an H0-norm. The inversed transform of each side in the identity R(λ, G) = R(λ, -iH0)-iR(λ, -iH0)VR(λ, G), which represents a simple algebraic decomposition of the resolvent of G, converges on Ψ if and only if Ψ ∊ D(G). By iteration an asymptotic series emerges, when t → 0. Numerical considerations of this approximation in its first order may support the form of a deviation from the pure exponential decay when the semigroup is compared with a integral transform corresponding to a certain self-adjoint H0 in ℋ0. The deviation may hardly ever be observed and it is therefore most fruitful to discuss the results inside the framework of the enveloping algebra of the semigroups.
