Generators with interior degeneracy on spaces of L^2 type

Genni Fragnelli, Gisele Ruiz Goldstein, Jerome A. Goldstein, Silvia Romanelli

Abstract:
We consider operators in divergence and in nondivergence form with degeneracy at the interior of the space domain. Characterizing the domain of the operators, we prove that they generate positive analytic semigroups on spaces of L^2 type. Finally, some applications to linear and semilinear parabolic evolution problems and to linear hyperbolic ones are presented.
