### ON THE C0-SEMIGROUPS GENERATED BY SECOND ORDER DIFFERENTIAL OPERATORS ON THE REAL LINE

#### Abstract

In this paper we deal with special classes of second order elliptic differential operators on the real line. We show that these operators are generators of positive $C_{0}$-semigroups on weighted spaces of continuous functions and we represent them as limits of iterates of integral-type operators. By means of such representation, some qualitative properties of the semigroups are stated.
