Suppose T T is a one-parameter semigroup of bounded linear operators on a Banach space, strongly continuous on [ 0 , ∞ ) [0,\infty ) . It is known that lim sup x → 0 | T ( x ) − I | > 2 \lim {\sup _{x \to 0}}|T(x) - I| > 2 implies T T is holomorphic on ( 0 , ∞ ) (0,\infty ) . Theorem I is a generalization of this as follows: Suppose M > 0 , 0 > r > s M > 0,0 > r > s , and ρ \rho is in (1,2). If | ( T ( h ) − I ) n | ≤ M ρ n |{(T(h) - I)^n}| \leq M{\rho ^n} whenever n h nh is in [ r , s ] , n = 1 , 2 , ⋯ , h > 0 [r,s],n = 1,2, \cdots ,h > 0 , then there exists b > 0 b > 0 such that T T is holomorphic on [ b , ∞ ) [b,\infty ) . Theorem II shows that, in some sense, b → 0 b \to 0 as r → 0 r \to 0 . Theorem I is an application of Theorem III: Suppose M > 0 , 0 > r > s , ρ M > 0,0 > r > s,\rho is in (1,2), and f f is continuous on [ − 4 s , 4 s ] [ - 4s,4s] . If | ∑ q = 0 n ( n q ) ( − 1 ) n − q f ( t + q h ) | ≤ M ρ n |\sum _{q = 0}^n \binom {n}{q}( - 1)^{n - q} f(t + qh)| \leq M \rho ^n whenever n h nh is in [ r , s ] [r,s] , n = 1 n = 1 , 2 2 , …, h > 0 h > 0 , [ t , t + n h ] ⊂ [ − 4 s , 4 s ] [t,t + nh] \subset [ - 4s,4s] , then f f has an analytic extension to an ellipse with center zero. Theorem III is a generalization of a theorem of Beurling in which the inequality on the differences is assumed for all n h nh . An example is given to show the hypothesis of Theorem I does not imply T T holomorphic on ( 0 , ∞ ) (0,\infty ) .
