Abstract

We provide a honesty theory of substochastic evolution families in real abstract state space, extending to an non-autonomous setting the result obtained for $C_0$-semigroups in our recent contribution [On perturbed substochastic semigroups in abstract state spaces, Z. Anal. Anwend. 30, 457--495, 2011]. The link with the honesty theory of perturbed substochastic semigroups is established. Application to non-autonomous linear Boltzmann equation is provided.
