Their infinitesimal generator is an elliptic differential operator whose second-order coefficients matrix degenerates on the boundary of the domain. In this article, we consider the inhomogeneous initial-value problem defined by generators of Kimura diffusions, and we establish $C^0$-estimates, which allows us to prove that solutions to the inhomogeneous initial-value problem are smooth up to the boundary of the domain where the operator degenerates, even when the initial data is only assumed to be continuous.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2014-06-03T15:15:55.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "parabolic equation", "kimura operators", "inhomogeneous initial-value problem", "second-order coefficients matrix degenerates", "smoothness" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2014arXiv1406.0742P" } } }
