Rates of convergence and metastability for abstract Cauchy problems generated by accretive operators

We extract rates of convergence and rates of metastability (in the sense of Tao) for convergence results regarding abstract Cauchy problems generated by ϕ-accretive at zero operators A:D(A)(⊆X)→2X where X is a real Banach space, proved in [8], by proof-theoretic analysis of the proofs in [8] and having assumed a new, stronger notion of uniform accretivity at zero, yielding a new notion of modulus of accretivity. We compute the rate of metastability for the convergence of the solution of the abstract Cauchy problem generated by a uniformly accretive at zero operator to the unique zero of A via proof mining based on a result by the first author. Finally, we apply our results to a special class of Cauchy problems considered in [8]. This work is the first application of proof mining to the theory of partial differential equations.
