We study uniqueness of solutions to degenerate parabolic problems, posed in bounded domains, where no boundary conditions are imposed. Under suitable assumptions on the operator, uniqueness is obtained for solutions that satisfy an appropriate integral condition; in particular, such condition holds for possibly unbounded solutions belonging to a suitable weighted $L^1$ space.
We consider both divergence and non-divergence parabolic equations on a half space in weighted Sobolev spaces. All the leading coefficients are assumed to be only measurable in the time and one spatial variable except one coefficient, which is assumed to be only measurable either in the time or the spatial variable. As functions of the other variables the coefficients have small bounded mean oscillation (BMO) semi-norms. The lower-order coefficients are allowed to blow up near the boundary with a certain optimal growth condition. As a corollary, we also obtain the corresponding results for elliptic equations.
For a general class of divergence type quasi-linear degenerate parabolic equations with differentiable structure and lower order coefficients form bounded with respect to the Laplacian we obtain $L^q$-estimates for the gradients of solutions, and for the lower order coefficients from a Kato-type class we show that the solutions are Lipschitz continuous with respect to the space variable.
In this paper, we study both elliptic and parabolic equations in non-divergence form with singular degenerate coefficients. Weighted and mixed-norm $L_p$-estimates and solvability are established under some suitable partially weighted BMO regularity conditions on the coefficients. When the coefficients are constants, the operators are reduced to extensional operators which arise in the study of fractional heat equations and fractional Laplace equations. Our results are new even in this setting and in the unmixed case. For the proof, we establish both interior and boundary Lipschitz estimates for solutions and for higher order derivatives of solutions to homogeneous equations. We then employ the perturbation method by using the Fefferman-Stein sharp function theorem, the Hardy-Littlewood maximum function theorem, as well as a weighted Hardys inequality.
In this paper, we study parabolic equations in divergence form with coefficients that are singular degenerate as some Muckenhoupt weight functions in one spatial variable. Under certain conditions, weighted reverse H{o}lders inequalities are established. Lipschitz estimates for weak solutions are proved for homogeneous equations with singular degenerate coefficients depending only on one spatial variable. These estimates are then used to establish interior, boundary, and global weighted estimates of Calder{o}n-Zygmund type for weak solutions, assuming that the coefficients are partially VMO (vanishing mean oscillations) with respect to the considered weights. The solvability in weighted Sobolev spaces is also achieved. Our results are new even for elliptic equations, and non-trivially extend known results for uniformly elliptic and parabolic equations. The results are also useful in the study of fractional elliptic and parabolic equations with measurable coefficients.
We prove the unique solvability in weighted Sobolev spaces of non-divergence form elliptic and parabolic equations on a half space with the homogeneous Neumann boundary condition. All the leading coefficients are assumed to be only measurable in the time variable and have small mean oscillations in the spatial variables. Our results can be applied to Neumann boundary value problems for {em stochastic} partial differential equations with BMO$_x$ coefficients.
