Abstract

We prove that, for N/(N-2) < p < ∞, α > 2, the operator Lu = (1 + |x|2)α/2Tr(A(x)D2u) = (1 + |x|2)α/2i,j=1,...,Naij(x)Diju admits realizations generating analytic semigroups in Lp(ℝN). Moreover, for α < N/p', we provide an explicit description of the domain.

The authors would like to thank Giorgio Metafune for helpful discussions, comments and suggestions on the paper.
