Interpolation spaces between domains of elliptic operators and spaces of continuous functions with applications to nonlinear parabolic equations. (English) Zbl 0568.47035

Let X be a Banach space and let \(A: D(A)\subset X\to X\) be a generator of a semigroup \(e^{tA}\) in X. For \(0<\theta <1\), the interpolation spaces \(D_ A(\theta,\infty)\) and \(D_ A(\theta)\) are defined by \[ D_ A(\theta,\infty)=\{x\in X;\quad \sup_{0<t<1}\| t^{- \theta}(e^{tA}x-x)\|_ X<+\infty \} \]
\[ D_ A(\theta)=\{x\in X;\quad \lim_{t\to 0^+}t^{-\theta}(e^{tA}x-x)=0\}. \] Here \(D_ A(\theta,\infty)\) and \(D_ A(\theta)\) are characterized when A is a second order elliptic differential operator with regular coefficients in \({\bar \Omega}\) and \(X=C_ 0({\bar \Omega})=\{f\in C({\bar \Omega});\quad f_{| \partial \Omega}=0\}\) (\(\Omega\) is a bounded open set in \({\mathbb{R}}^ n\) with regular boundary \(\partial \Omega)\). The result is \[ D_ A(\theta,\infty)=C_ 0^{2\theta}({\bar \Omega})=\{f\in C^{2\theta}({\bar \Omega});\quad f_{| \partial \Omega}=0\} \]
\[ D_ A(\theta)=h_ 0^{2\theta}({\bar \Omega})=\{f\in h^{2\theta}({\bar \Omega});\quad f_{| \partial \Omega}=0\} \] for each \(\theta\in]0,1[\) with \(\theta\) \(\neq 1/2\). \(h^{2\theta}({\bar \Omega})\) is the closure of \(C^{\infty}({\bar \Omega})\) in the norm of \(C^{2\theta}({\bar \Omega}).\)
These characterizations are used to prove that each second order elliptic operator with reular coefficients and Dirichlet boundary condition generates an analytic semigroup in \(C_ 0^{\alpha}({\bar \Omega})\) and in \(h_ 0^{\alpha}({\bar \Omega})\), \(0<\alpha <1.\)
Moreover, the above results are applied in order to study fully nonlinear second order parabolic p.d.e. in spaces of continuous functions.
