Abstract
We consider a nonlinear evolution problem with an asymptotic parameter and construct examples in which the linearized operator has spectrum uniformly bounded away from Rez≥0 (that is, the problem is spectrally stable), yet the nonlinear evolution blows up in short times for arbitrarily small initial data. We interpret the results in terms of semiclassical pseudospectrum of the linearized operator: despite having the spectrum in Rez<−γ0<0 , the resolvent of the linearized operator grows very quickly in parts of the region Rez>0 . We also illustrate the results numerically.
