The dual quasisemigroup and controllability of evolution equations

We study the notion of dual quasisemigroups of bounded linear operators as a generalization of that for strongly continuous semigroup and prove some properties similar to the dual of a semigroup, among other things we prove that for reflexive Banach spaces the dual quasisemigroup is strongly continuous on (0,+∞). This allows us to extend some recent criteria of controllability to a general class of evolution equations in reflexive Banach spaces.
