Quantified versions of Ingham's theorem (1504.00385v1)

Abstract: We obtain quantified versions of Ingham's classical Tauberian theorem and some of its variants by means of a natural modification of Ingham's own simple proof. As corollaries of the main general results, we obtain quantified decay estimates for $C_0$-semigroups. The results reproduce those known in the literature but are both more general and, in one case, sharper. They also lead to a better understanding of the previously obscure "fudge factor' appearing in proofs based on estimating contour integrals.
