Weighted sobolev spaces and laplace's equation and the heat equations in a half space (Q4264571)

The author considers the couple of equations \[ \Delta u=D_i f^i\quad \text{ and}\quad u_t=\Delta u+D_i f^i \] in \({\mathbb R}^d_+\) \((x^1>0)\) and \(t\geq 0\). He is interested in the solvability of such equations in spaces of functions whose derivatives may blow up near the boundary of \({\mathbb R}^d_+\). For this goal he introduces Sobolev spaces \(H^\gamma_{p,\theta}\) with weights that consist of all distributions \(u\) on \({\mathbb R}^d_+\) such that \[ \|u\|^p_{\gamma,p,\theta}:= \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty e^{n\theta}\|u(e^n\cdot)\zeta\|^p_{\gamma,p}<\infty \] where \(\sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \zeta^p(e^{x-n})\geq 1\;\forall x\in {\mathbb R} \) and \(\gamma,\theta\in{\mathbb R}, p\in(1,\infty).\) The properties of that spaces are broadly described. It is given their relation to operators like \((x^1)^2\Delta \) and there are proved some embedding theorems. It is investigated the solvability of the equations above in the sense of the introduced spaces. Moreover, the solvability of the initial value problem for the parabolic equation \(u_t=Lu+D_if^i\) with coefficients depending on \(t\) is discussed.
