Abstract: Let E be a locally compact, second countable Hausdorff space and let be a Markov process with state space E. Sufficient conditions are given for the existence of a solution to the initial value problem, $\partial u/\partial t = Au + V(x) \cdot u,u(0) = f$ , where A is the infinitesimal generator of the process X on a certain Banach space and for each $x \in E,V(x)$ is the infinitesimal generator of a ${C_0}$ contraction semigroup on another Banach space.
