Abstract. We provide a sharp generalization to the nonautonomous case of
the well-known Kobayashi estimate for proximal iterates associated with max-
imal monotone operators. We then derive a bound for the distance between a
continuous-in-time trajectory, namely the solution to the differential inclusion
x + A(t)x 0, and the corresponding proximal iterations. We also establish
continuity properties with respect to time of the nonautonomous flow under
simple assumptions by revealing their link with the function t A(t). More-
