We show that a realization of the operator $L=|x|^\alpha\Delta +c|x|^{\alpha-1}\frac{x}{|x|}\cdot\nabla -b|x|^{\alpha-2}$ generates a semigroup in $L^p(\mathbb {R}^N)$ if and only if $D_c=b+(N-2+c)^2/4 > 0$ and…

The Hopf Lemma for second order elliptic operators is proved to hold in domains with $C^{1,\alpha}$, and even less regular, boundaries. It need not hold for $C^1$ boundaries. Corresponding results are proved for second order parabolic…

We prove that operators of the form $A=-a(x)^2\Delta^{2}$, with $|D a(x)|\leq c a(x)^\frac{1}{2}$, generate analytic semigroups in $L^p(\mathbb{R}^N)$ for $1<p\leq\infty$ and in $C_b(\mathbb{R}^N)$. In particular, we deduce generation…
