We construct a functional calculus, g → g(A), for functions, g, that are the sum of a Stieltjes function and a nonnegative operator monotone function, and unbounded linear operators, A, whose resolvent set contains (−∞, 0), with {‖r(r + A)−1‖ ¦ r > 0} bounded. For such functions g, we show that –g(A) generates a bounded holomorphic strongly continuous semigroup of angle θ, whenever –A does.

We show that, for any Bernstein function f, − f(A) generates a bounded holomorphic strongly continuous semigroup of angle π/2, whenever − A does.

We also prove some new results about the Bochner-Phillips functional calculus. We discuss the relationship between fractional powers and our construction.
