Abstract
This paper is based upon some handwritten notes Philippe sent us in late 1996, following his visit to UC Berkeley. He was interested in a scaling argument from our paper with Feldman [E-F-G], and in his notes extended this trick to cover general nonlinear evolutions governed by homogeneous accretive operators. We reproduce his proof in §2 below, and add some commentary and a few Pde examples
