The Inverse Generator Problem on Hilbert Spaces

One finite-dimensional construction settles several related questions. Besides the inverse generator problem, it gives a generator whose Cayley transforms satisfy the ordinary Kreiss resolvent condition but are neither strongly Kreiss bounded nor power bounded, and it shows the Crank-Nicolson scheme is unstable in operator norm both over long times at fixed step size and under mesh refinement at fixed final time. Version 2 adds Theorem 1.4, whose part (i) solves Question 6.1 of Chalmoukis, Tsikalas and Yakubovich; that question is tracked as its own entry.
