The Dirichlet problem for superdegenerate differential operators

Analysis of PDEs 2016-09-07 v1

Abstract

Let LL be an infinitely degenerate second-order linear operator defined on a bounded smooth Euclidean domain. Under weaker conditions than those of H\"ormander, we show that the Dirichlet problem associated with LL has a unique smooth classical solution. The proof uses the Malliavin calculus. At present, there appears to be no proof of this result using classical analytic techniques.
