Abstract

Given an open domain (possibly unbounded) Ω⊂R n, we prove that uniformly elliptic second order differential operators, under nontangential boundary conditions, generate analytic semigroups in L 1(Ω). We use a duality method, and, further, give estimates of first order derivatives for the resolvent and the semigroup, through properties of the generator in Sobolev spaces of negative order.
