Gradient estimates for Dirichlet parabolic problems in unbounded domains. (English) Zbl 1061.35022
The authors consider the following Dirichlet problem: $\begin{cases} u_t(t,x)-Au(t,x)=0, & t\in(0,T),\;x\in \Omega,\\ u(t,\xi)=0, & t\in(0,T),\;\xi\in \partial\Omega,\\ u(0,x)=f(x), & x\in \Omega, \end{cases}$ where $$f$$ is continuous and bounded in an unbounded smooth connected open set $$\Omega\subset {\mathbb R}^N.$$ The operator $$A$$ is a second-order elliptic one, with (possibly) unbounded regular coefficients. The authors determine new conditions on the coefficients of $$A$$ yielding global estimates for the bounded classical solution.
