approximation of a Feller semi-group with the infinitesimal generator

Let $T_t$ a Feller semigroup (see this) and let $(A,D(A))$ its infinitesimal generator. If A is a bounded operator it is easy to show that the Feller semi-group is $e^{tA}$. Is this formula always ...

Reference request: normal trace and the conormal derivative associated to the operator $Div (A \nabla)$ for a symmetric positive definite $A$

Let $A$ be a $3\times 3$ symmetric positive definite matrix. I am looking for a reference where I could find in which sense the normal trace $\gamma$ and conormal derivative $\gamma_n$ associated to ...

Fredholmness of elliptic operator on Hölder spaces

Let $(M,g)$ be a smooth oriented closed Riemannian manifold, $E\to M$ a smooth vector bundle, and $C^{k,\alpha}(E)$ the Banach space of sections of $E$ that are $k$-times differentiable (with respect ...

Non-closed range space of Laplace operators?

Set $ -\Delta: H^2(\mathbb{R}^3) \subseteq L^2(\mathbb{R}^3) \to L^2(\mathbb{R}^3) $. Then $ \mathcal{R}(-\Delta) $ is non-closed? Sorry if this question is trivial. I am not familiar with theory of ...

A condition for Laplacian

Let $u\in L^{2}(\mathbb{R}^{2}) $ with $-\Delta(u) -c (x^{2}+y^{2})u \in L^{2}(\mathbb{R}^{2})$ where $c>0$. Is true $-\Delta u \in L^{2}(\mathbb{R}^{2})$? Thank you in advance.

Spectral Gap of Elliptic Operator

Under what conditions on $a(x)$ and domain $D$, the spectral gap of the elliptic operator $ \nabla \cdot(a(x)\cdot \nabla)$ defined on $D$, can be controlled? The boundary condition is that the ...

PDE satisfied by projection of a function onto a subspace

Given an open bounded set $D\subset \mathbb R^N$, let $f\in W^{-1,q}(D)$ and let $u$ be a Sobolev function $u\in W_0^{1,p}(D)$ such that $u$ solves the PDE $$ \begin{cases} -\Delta_p u=f\;\text{in $D$}...

Gaussian bounds for the heat kernel of regular domains in Riemannian manifolds

In "Heat Kernels and Spectral Theory" Davies constructs upper and lower bounds for the kernels associated to Dirichlet elliptic operators on regular domains of $\mathbb R^n$. Has anybody done the same ...

Parabolic PDE Long Time Asymptotics and Elliptic Operator Spectrum II

This is a follow-up on a previous question. Now the parabolic PDE of $P(t,x,v)$ has two spatial dimensions. $$ \partial_t P = L^* P \tag1 $$ $$L^*P = \frac12\left(\kappa^2\frac{\partial^2}{\partial v^...

Domain of operator

Let be $\lambda\in C^{*}$. Consider the following operator: $ T_{\lambda}=-\Delta_{R^{2}}++\frac{\lambda^{2} }{4} (x^{2}+y^{2})+i\lambda N$, where $N=(x \frac{d }{dy} -y \frac{d }{dx})$ , ...
