A class of degenerate elliptic operators
A. V. Fursikov
Abstract:
In a bounded region
$G\subset R^n$ we consider an operator
$A$ which is elliptic inside the region and degenerate on its boundary
$\Gamma$. More precisely, the operator
$A$ has the following form in the local coordinate system
$(x',x_n)$, in which the boundary
$\Gamma$ is given by the equation
$x_n=0$ and
$x_n>0$ for points in the region
$G$:
$$
Au=\sum_{|l'|+l_n+\beta\leqslant2m}a_{l',l_n,\beta}(x',x_n)q^\beta x_n^{l_n}D_{x'}^{l'}D_{x_n}^{l_n}u
$$
where
$q$ is a parameter, and
$$
\sum_{|l'|+l_n+\beta=2m}a_{l',l_n,\beta}(x',0)q^\beta{\xi'}^{l'}{\xi_n}^{l^n}\ne0\quad\text{for}\quad|\xi|+|q|\ne0.
$$
The operator
$A$ will be proved Noetherian in certain spaces under the condition that
$|q|$ is sufficiently large. In addition, some results will be obtained relating to how the smoothness of the solution of the equation
$Au=f$ depends on the magnitude of the parameter.
A theorem is formulated concerning unique solvability in approperiate spaces for a class of degenerate parabolic operators.
