I see the definition for stability for any solution operator $E$ is that $||Eu^{n}||^2=||u^{n+1}||^2\leq C||u^{n}||^2$ for some constant $C$ and some pde $u_t=Lu$. However, I can show that $||u^{n+1}||^2\leq C_1||u^{n}||^2+||f^n||^2$ where $f$ is the part on RHS of the equation $u_t=Lu+f$. So, it might be a silly question but is that stable? It doesn't fit the definition of stability because of this additional term $||f^n||$. Thanks

Actually the stability of the differential scheme for the nonhomogeneous PDE is derived from the stability for the homogeneous thanks to Duhamel's Principle.
