Let St = exp{−tH}, Tt = exp{−tK}, be C0-semigroups on a Banach space . For appropriate f one can define subordinate semigroups Sft = exp{−tf(H)}, Ttf = exp{−tf(K)}, on and examine order properties of the pairs S, T, and Sf, Tf. If , = Lp(X;dv) we define StTt ≽ 0 if StTt and Tt map non-negative functions into non-negative functions. Then for p fixed in the range 1 > p > ∞ we characterize the functions for which StTt ≽ 0 implies SftTft ≽ 0 for each Lp(X;dv) and the converse is true for all Lp(X;dv). Further we give irreducibility criteria for the strict ordering of holomorphic semigroups. This extends earlier results for L2-spaces.
