We prove the Kato conjecture for elliptic operators, $L=- ablacdotleft((mathbf A+mathbf D) abla right)$, with $mathbf A$ a complex measurable bounded coercive matrix and $mathbf D$ a measurable real-valued skew-symmetric matrix in $mathbb{R}^n$ with entries in $BMO(mathbb{R}^n)$;, i.e., the domain of $sqrt{L},$ is the Sobolev space $dot H^1(mathbb{R}^n)$ in any dimension, with the estimate $|sqrt{L}, f|_2lesssim | abla f|_2$.
We study existence and uniqueness of the invariant measure for a stochastic process with degenerate diffusion, whose infinitesimal generator is a linear subelliptic operator in the whole space R N with coefficients that may be unbounded. Such a measure together with a Liouville-type theorem will play a crucial role in two applications: the ergodic problem studied through stationary problems with vanishing discount and the long time behavior of the solution to a parabolic Cauchy problem. In both cases, the constants will be characterized in terms of the invariant measure.
We study a class of elliptic operators $A$ with unbounded coefficients defined in $ItimesCR^d$ for some unbounded interval $IsubsetCR$. We prove that, for any $sin I$, the Cauchy problem $u(s,cdot)=fin C_b(CR^d)$ for the parabolic equation $D_tu=Au$ admits a unique bounded classical solution $u$. This allows to associate an evolution family ${G(t,s)}$ with $A$, in a natural way. We study the main properties of this evolution family and prove gradient estimates for the function $G(t,s)f$. Under suitable assumptions, we show that there exists an evolution system of measures for ${G(t,s)}$ and we study the first properties of the extension of $G(t,s)$ to the $L^p$-spaces with respect to such measures.
We study asymptotic behavior in a class of non-autonomous second order parabolic equations with time periodic unbounded coefficients in $mathbb Rtimes mathbb R^d$. Our results generalize and improve asymptotic behavior results for Markov semigroups having an invariant measure. We also study spectral properties of the realization of the parabolic operator $umapsto {cal A}(t) u - u_t$ in suitable $L^p$ spaces.
We consider a class of non-trivial perturbations ${mathscr A}$ of the degenerate Ornstein-Uhlenbeck operator in ${mathbb R}^N$. In fact we perturb both the diffusion and the drift part of the operator (say $Q$ and $B$) allowing the diffusion part to be unbounded in ${mathbb R}^N$. Assuming that the kernel of the matrix $Q(x)$ is invariant with respect to $xin {mathbb R}^N$ and the Kalman rank condition is satisfied at any $xin{mathbb R}^N$ by the same $m<N$, and developing a revised version of Bernsteins method we prove that we can associate a semigroup ${T(t)}$ of bounded operators (in the space of bounded and continuous functions) with the operator ${mathscr A}$. Moreover, we provide several uniform estimates for the spatial derivatives of the semigroup ${T(t)}$ both in isotropic and anisotropic spaces of (Holder-) continuous functions. Finally, we prove Schauder estimates for some elliptic and parabolic problems associated with the operator ${mathscr A}$.
We consider a class of vector-valued elliptic operators with unbounded coefficients, coupled up to the first-order, in the Lebesgue space L^p(R^d;R^m) with p in (1,infty). Sufficient conditions to prove generation results of an analytic C_0-semigroup T(t), together with a characterization of the domain of its generator, are given. Some results related to the hypercontractivity and the ultraboundedness of the semigroup are also established.
