Let Tt, t > 0, be a strongly continuous semigroup of positive linear contractions on the L 1-space of a σ-finite measure space . We denote the integral ∫0 t T s ƒ ds, ƒ ∈ L 1, by S 0t ƒ, which is denned as the limit of Riemann sums, in the norm topology of L 1. It is easy to see that, given ƒ ∈ L 1 +, there exists a function F on the product space X× (0, ∞), measurable with respect to the usual product σ-field, such that for every t ≧ 0, ∫0tF(·, s) ds gives a representation of S 0t ƒ. We write S 0t ƒ(x) for ∫0t F(x, S) ds, with a fixed choice of F.
