Elliptic and parabolic equations with measurable coefficients in weighted Sobolev spaces (Q2359942)

The paper under review deals with linear elliptic and parabolic equations in the half-space \[ \mathbb{R}^d_+=\{(x_1,x'):\;x_1>0,\;x'\in \mathbb{R}^{d+1}\}. \] The authors derive estimates for the solutions of the equations considered in the weighted Sobolev spaces \[ H^\gamma_{p,\theta}=\{u:\;x_1^{|\alpha|}D^\alpha u\in L_p(\mathbb{R}^d_+, x_1^{\theta-d}dx_1dx'),\;0\leq|\alpha|\leq \gamma\}. \] The principal coefficients of the studied operators are supposed to be only measurable with respect to \(x_1\) in the elliptic case, and with respect to \((t,x_1)\) in the parabolic one, while these are assumed to be small-BMO with respect to the remaing variables. The employed approach is quite classical and consists in first deriving the necessary estimates in the parabolic case with simple coefficients and then applying the continuity method. The estimates in the elliptic case follow then from the corresponding parabolic estimates.
