Boundary value problems for higher order parabolic equations (Q4517465)

The existence of solutions to the initial-Dirichlet problem in cylindrical domains for a constant coefficient parabolic equation of following kind was established: \[ \left(D_{t}+L\right)u\left(X,t\right)=0, X\in \Omega , t>0, \] \[ \sum_{|\alpha |\leq m-1}D^{\alpha }u\left(Q,t\right)= \sum_{|\alpha |\leq m-1}\psi _{\alpha }\left(Q,t\right), Q\in \partial \Omega , t>0, \] \[ u\left(X,0\right)=0, X\in \Omega, \] where \[ L=\sum_{|\alpha |=|\beta |=m}a_{\alpha \beta } D^{\alpha }D^{\beta } \] is an elliptic operator of order \(2m, m\geq 2,\) on \(\mathbb{R}^{n}\), \(X=\left(X'',X_{n}\right),\) \(\Omega \) is the region above the graph of function \(\phi\), \(\Omega =\{X_{n}>\phi \left(X^ {\prime }\right)\}\) with \(\phi : \mathbb{R}^{n-1}\to \mathbb{R}\) a Lipschitz function satisfying \(\|\bigtriangledown \phi \|\leq M\). The lateral data is taken from spaces of Whitney arrays which essentially require that the normal derivatives up to order \(m-1\) ly in \(L^2\) with respect to the surface measure. In addition, a regularity result for the solution is obtained if the data has one more derivative.
