Abstract. Well-posedness in L ∞ (R n ) (n ≥ 3) of the Cauchy problem is studied for a class of linear parabolic equations with variable density. In view of degeneracy at infinity, some conditions at infinity are possibly needed to make the problem well-posed. Existence and uniqueness results are proved for bounded solutions that satisfy either Dirichlet or Neumann conditions at infinity.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
