1. INTRODUCTION
In this note we present some constructions with generators of analytic semigroups which
are an abstract version of the familiar method of ``freezing the coefficients'' to prove ellip­
tic estimates for differential operators with continuous coefficients or H˜older­continuous
coefficients. As a side result we obtain an abstract exponential decay result for, say eigen­
functions corresponding to isolated eigenvalues.
After recalling some basic definitions in section 1.1 we first introduce a resolution of an
