A Semigroups Approach to the Study of a Second Order Partial Differential Equation Applied in Economics

In this paper we will study the well known problem of production functions in an operator semigroup approach. In general, semigroups can be used to solve a large class of problems commonly known as evolution equations. They are usually described by an initial value problem for a differential equation, also known as a Cauchy problem. After summarizing some of the major properties of semigroups theory, we will provide an application to the theory of production functions. Finally we present some concluding remarks.
