Abstract
We shall recall a few notions and results that crop up frequently concerning the diffusion equation
defined on a cylindrical domain Q T = Ω × (0, T), where Ω is a domain (connected, open subset) of ℝn. Here u = u(x, t), and the Laplacian Δ is taken with respect to the spatial variables x only.
