Kreis, Heinz-otto et Lorenz, Jens, Resolvent Estimates and Quantification of Nonlinear Stability, Acta mathematica Sinica. English series (Print) , 16(1), 2000, pp. 1-20
The aim of this paper is to clarify the role played by resolvent estimates for nonlinear stability. We will give examples showing that a large resolvent may lead to a small domain of nonlinear stability. In other examples the resolvent is large, but the domain of nonlinear stability is completely unrestricted. Which case prevails depends on the details of the problem.
