Abstract: Well-posedness in $ L^\infty(\mathbb{R}^n)$ $ (n \ge 3)$ of the Cauchy problem is studied for a class of linear parabolic equations with variable density. In view of degeneracy at infinity, some conditions at infinity are possibly needed to make the problem well-posed. Existence and uniqueness results are proved for bounded solutions that satisfy either Dirichlet or Neumann conditions at infinity.
