In this paper, we investigate a perturbation of the Drazin inverse AD of a closed linear operator A; the main tool for obtaining the estimates is the gap between subspaces and operators. By (X) we denote the set of all closed linear operators acting on a linear subspace of X to X , where X is a complex Banach space. We write (A), (A), (A), ρ(A), σ(A), and R(λ,A) for the domain, nullspace, range...
