We prove that operators of the form $A=-a(x)^2\Delta^{2}$, with suitable growth conditions on the coefficient $a(x)$, generate analytic semigroups in $L^1(\mathbb{R}^N)$. In particular, we deduce generation results for the operator $A :=-…

We generalize the Omori-Yau almost maximum principle of the Laplace-Beltrami operator on a complete Riemannian manifold $M$ to a second-order linear semi-elliptic operator $L$ with bounded coefficients and no zeroth order term. Using this…

A compact metric space $X$ and a discrete topological acting group $T$ give a flow $(X,T)$. Robert Ellis had initiated the study of dynamical properties of the flow $(X,T)$ via the algebraic properties of its "Enveloping Semigroup" $E(X)$.…

We study operators of the form $$ L=\sum_{|\alpha|,|\beta|\le n} D^\alpha c_{\alpha,\beta} D^\beta, x\in\mathbb R^n $$ provided that the coefficients of the main symbol corresponding to the indices $|\alpha|=|\beta|=m$ are continuous while…
