Sobolev estimates for parabolic and elliptic equations in divergence form with degenerate coefficients (2412.00779v2)

Abstract: We study a class of degenerate parabolic and elliptic equations in divergence form in the upper half space ${x_d>0}$. The leading coefficients are of the form $x_d^2a_{ij}$, where $a_{ij}$ are bounded, uniformly elliptic, and measurable in $(t,x_d)$ except $a_{dd}$, which is measurable in $t$ or $x_d$. Additionally, they have small bounded mean oscillations in the other spatial variables. We obtain the well-posedness and regularity of solutions in weighted mixed-norm Sobolev spaces.
