Reference needed for powers of semi-group generators
Let $\mathcal{L}$ be the infinitesimal generator of a Markov semi-group. I am looking for references that study powers of $\mathcal{L}$; i.e. $\mathcal{L}^n$, for $n\in\mathbb{N}$.
For example, if the ...

What's the name of this semi-group theorem?
I encountered this theorem, that for a bounded linear transform $L$ and a real parameter $t$ and initial data $u_0$, we have
$$\frac{d}{dt} \exp(Lt)[u_0] = L \exp(Lt)[u_0].$$
What is the name of this ...
