Fundamental solution of an elliptic PDE in divergence form with non-symmetric matrix

I am looking for the fundamental solution of the following PDE $$\partial_i (a^{ij}\partial_j u)=f$$ where $a^{ij}(x)$ is a non-symmetric matrix with possibly non-constant coefficients. I could find a ...

Structure of sign changes under the heat flow

Let $f$ be a smooth function on $R^2$, and define $N_f$ to be the set of points $p$ such that the nodal set of $f$ ($\{x\in R^2: f(x)=0\}$) divided every neighborhood of $p$ into four regions. Indeed, ...

Singularity of the solution of a PDE whose coefficients have zeros

The following PDE arises in a problem of finding the stationary measure of a 2d system of stochastic differential equations (see this math.stackexchange post): $$\mathcal{A}p=0, \quad p\in C^2(\...
