AN ESTIMATE OF SOLUTIONS OF PARABOLIC PROBLEMS WITHOUT AN INITIAL CONDITION

From MaRDI portal





The author considers the following problem without initial conditions \[ u_ t= Lu+ f(x,t) \text{ in } \Omega\times (-\infty,T), \qquad u=0 \text{ on } S\times (-\infty,t), \tag{1} \] where \(\Omega\) is a bounded domain in \(\mathbb{R}^ n\) with smooth boundary \(S\) and \(L=a_{ij} D_ i D_ j+ b_ i D+c\) an elliptic operator with smooth coefficients depending only on \(x\) and satisfying \((a_{ij})\geq mI\), \(m>0\). Assume that \(\min\text{ Re }\lambda_ i= \mu>0\), where the \(\lambda_ i\) are points of the spectrum of \(-L\) with zero Dirichlet boundary data and that \(f(t,\cdot)\in L_ 2(\Omega)\) for \(t\leq T\) and, for some \(\xi\in(0,\mu)\), \[ \int^ T_{-\infty} e^{2\xi t} \| f(x,t)\|^ 2_{L_ 2(\Omega)} dt<\infty. \] Then problem (1) has a unique solution \(u\) satisfying the estimate \[ \| u(x,t)\|^ 2_{L_ 2(\Omega)}\leq C \int^ t_{-\infty} e^{-2\xi(t-\tau)} \| f(x,\tau)\|^ 2_{L_ 2(\Omega)} d\tau. \] The solution is obtained as a limit \(h\to -\infty\) of solutions \(u_ h\) in \((h,T)\times\Omega\) with zero initial values.
