Boundary triples for a family of degenerate elliptic operators of Keldysh type

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: We consider a one-parameter family of degenerately elliptic operators calLgamma on the closed disk mathbbD, of Keldysh (or Kimura) type, which appears in prior work [Mishra et al., Inverse Problems (2022)] by the authors and Mishra, related to the geodesic X-ray transform. Depending on the value of a constant gammainmathbbR in the sub-principal term, we prove that either the minimal operator is self-adjoint (case |gamma|ge1), or that one may construct appropriate trace maps and Sobolev scales (on mathbbD and mathbbS1=partialmathbbD) on which to formulate mapping properties, Dirichlet-to-Neumann maps, and extend Green's identities (case |gamma|<1). The latter can be reinterpreted in terms of a boundary triple for the maximal operator, or a generalized boundary triple for a distinguished restriction of it. The latter concepts, object of interest in their own right, provide avenues to describe sufficient conditions for self-adjointness of extensions of calLgamma,min that are parameterized in terms of boundary relations, and we formulate some corollaries to that effect.
