    Global properties of invariant measures

    No full text
    We study global regularity properties of invariant measures associated with second order differential operators in RN. Under suitable conditions, we prove global boundedness of the density, Sobolev regularity, a Harnack inequality and pointwise upper and lower bounds

    Bi-Kolmogorov type operators and weighted Rellich’s inequalities

    Full text link
    In this paper we consider the symmetric Kolmogorov operator L=Δ+∇μμ·∇ on L2(RN, dμ) , where μ is the density of a probability measure on RN. Under general conditions on μ we prove first weighted Rellich’s inequalities and deduce that the operators L and - L2 with domain H2(RN, dμ) and H4(RN, dμ) respectively, generate analytic semigroups of contractions on L2(RN, dμ). We observe that dμ is the unique invariant measure for the semigroup generated by - L2 and as a consequence we describe the asymptotic behaviour of such semigroup and obtain some local positivity properties. As an application we study the bi-Ornstein-Uhlenbeck operator and its semigroup on L2(RN, dμ)

    No full text
    We consider the Schroedinger type operator mathcalA=(1+xalpha)Deltaxeta{mathcal A}=(1+|x|^{alpha})Delta-|x|^{eta}, for alphain[0,2]alpha in [0,2] and etage0eta ge 0. We prove that, for any pin(1,infty)p in (1,infty), the minimal realization of operator mathcalA{mathcal A} in Lp(RN)L^p(R^N) generates a strongly continuous analytic semigroup (Tp(t))tge0(T_p(t))_{t ge 0}. For alphain[0,2)alpha in [0,2) and etage2eta ge 2, we then prove some upper estimates for the heat kernel kk associated to the semigroup (Tp(t))tge0(T_p(t))_{t ge 0}. As a consequence we obtain an estimate for large x|x| of the eigenfunctions of mathcalA{mathcal A}. Finally, we extend such estimates to a class of divergence type elliptic operators

    LpL^p regularity for elliptic operators with unbounded coefficients

    No full text
    Under suitable conditions on the functions a, F and V we show that the operator Au = ∇(a∇u) + F · ∇u − V u with domain W^{2,p} intersected with the domai of the potential V generates a positive analytic semigroup on Lp, 1 < p < ∞. Analogous results are also established in the spaces L1 and C0. As an application we show that the generalized Ornstein–Uhlenbeck operator AΦ,Gu = Δu − ∇Φ · ∇u + G · ∇u with domain W2,p(RN, μ) generates an analytic semigroup on the weighted space Lp(RN, μ), where 1 < p < ∞ and μ(dx) = e −Φ(x)dx

    Generation results for vector-valued elliptic operators with unbounded coefficients in Lp spaces

    No full text
    We consider a class of vector-valued elliptic operators with unbounded coefficients, coupled up to the first order, in the Lebesgue space Lp(Rd; Rm) with p∈ (1 , ∞). Sufficient conditions to prove generation results of an analytic C-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

    On vector-valued Schrödinger operators with unbounded diffusion in Lp spaces

    Full text link
    We prove generation results of analytic strongly continuous semigroups on Lp(Rd, Rm) (1 &lt; p&lt; ∞) for a class of vector-valued Schrödinger operators with unbounded coefficients. We also prove Gaussian type estimates for such semigroups
