Communicated by Richard Miller, June 23, 1975 I. Introduction. In this note we announce some recent results concerning the semigroup theory for a class of linear Volterra integrodifferential systems. The system under consideration has previously been studied by Barbu and Grossman [2] and Miller [6], via semigroup methods. Although semigroup theory is employed in both of the above mentioned articles, it is important to note that the semigroup constructed in [6] differs greatly from the semigroup constructed in [2]. In particular, Miller is able to obtain certain stability results that do not hold for the semigroup constructed in [2]. However, we show that by an appropriate choice of the state space, Miller's semigroup may be considered as the "adjoint" semigroup (in the sense of Hille and Phillips [5]) to the semigroup constructed by Barbu and Grossman. We shall state the results without proofs. Proofs of the theorems will appear elsewhere (see [3]).
