Review text

In this paper the authors consider a second order linear operator with variable coeficients of the type \[ \Sigma\frac \partial {\partial x_j}(a_{i,j}(x)\frac{\partial u} {\partial x_i})+\Sigma b_i\frac{\partial u}{\partial x_i}=f(x) \] where the coefficients \(a_{i,j}(x)\), satisfy a pointwise elliptic condition that can tend to zero as we approach the nonregular boundary of the domain (if the domain is unbounded, infinity is also consider as a nonregular part). The main aim of the paper is to prove the existence of constants (not depending on the domain but depending on the asymptotic behaviour at the nonregular boundary) that estimate the norm of the solution \(u\) in terms of the norm of the principal term \(f\), of course by using appropriate norms in weighted Sobolev spaces.
