Resolvent of a bounded generator #
This file identifies the Laplace-transform resolvent of the uniformly continuous semigroup
t ↦ exp (tA) with the Neumann series for λI - A. For ‖A‖ < λ, the series
λ⁻¹ ∑' n, (λ⁻¹ A)ⁿ
converges in the Banach algebra of bounded operators and is a two-sided inverse of λI - A.
The general semigroup resolvent is already a right inverse, so the two operators agree. This
is the bounded-generator resolvent acceptance example in the one-parameter-semigroups roadmap.
The geometric-series argument uses Mathlib's summable_geometric_of_norm_lt_one and its
two multiplication identities for the sum.

For λ > ‖A‖, the Laplace-transform resolvent of t ↦ exp (tA) is the Neumann series
λ⁻¹ ∑' n, (λ⁻¹ A)ⁿ.
For λ > ‖A‖, the Laplace-transform resolvent of t ↦ exp (tA) agrees with
Mathlib's Banach-algebra resolvent of A.
