Exponential boundedness refers to a property of strongly continuous semigroups of linear operators where the norm of the semigroup is controlled by an exponential function. This means that there exists a constant $M \geq 0$ such that for all $t \geq 0$, the norm of the semigroup satisfies $\|T(t)\| \leq Me^{\omega t}$ for some $\omega \in \mathbb{R}$. This concept is crucial in understanding the behavior of solutions to linear differential equations and relates closely to the Hille-Yosida theorem, which provides criteria for the generators of strongly continuous semigroups.
congrats on reading the definition of exponential boundedness. now let's actually learn it.
