No label defined (Q4948617)

The nonclassical boundary value problem \[ \text{sgn }xu_t = (k(x,t)u_x)_x + c(x,t)u \] is studied in the domain \(\Omega = \{(x,t): -\infty <x<+\infty,\;0<t<T\}\), with initial conditions \[ u(x,0) = \varphi_1(x),\;x>0, \quad u(x,T) = \varphi_2(x), \;x<0, \] and conjugation conditions \[ \begin{aligned} u_x(+0,t) &= \rho(u(+0,t) - u(-0,t)), \\ u_x(-0,t) &= \rho(u(+0,t) - u(-0,t)), \end{aligned} \] where \(\rho = \text{const}>0\). The authors prove that this problem has a unique solution \(u\in H_{x,t}^{2l+\gamma, l+\gamma/2}(\Omega)\) under the assumption that \(\varphi_i\in H^{2l+\gamma}\) for \(i=1,2\) and \(k(0,t)=1\). The method of integral representation for a solution of a linear parabolic equation is used for solving the above problem.
