Abstract:

We develop a theory of generalised solutions for elliptic boundary value problems subject to Robin boundary conditions on arbitrary domains, which resembles in many ways that of the Dirichlet problem. In particular, we establish $L_p$-$L_q$-estimates which turn out to be the best possible in that framework. We also discuss consequences to the spectrum of Robin boundary value problems. Finally, we apply the theory to parabolic equations.
