A Desch-Schappacher perturbation theorem for bi-continuous semigroups

We prove a Desch-Schappacher type perturbation theorem for one-parameter semigroups on Banach spaces which are not strongly continuous for the norm, but possess a weaker continuity property. In this paper we chose to work in the framework of bi-continuous semigroups. This choice has the advantage that we can treat in a unified manner two important classes of semigroups: implemented semigroups on the Banach algebra $\mathscr{L}(E)$ of bounded, linear operators on a Banach space $E$, and semigroups on the space of bounded and continuous functions over a Polish space induced by jointly continuous semiflows. For both of these classes we present an application of our abstract perturbation theorem
