Abstract
LetA be anm-accretive operator in a Banach spaceE. Suppose thatA −10 is not empty and that bothE andE * are uniformly convex. We study a general condition onA that guarantees the strong convergence of the semigroup generated by—A and of related implicit and explicit iterative schemes to a zero ofA. Rates of convergence are also obtained. In Hilbert space this condition has been recently introduced by A. Pazy. We also establish strong convergence under the assumption that the interior ofA −10 is not empty. In Hilbert space this result is due to H. Brezis.
