Abstract

We prove that the operator Au ≔ αu″, with α ∈ C[0, 1] and α(x) > 0 in (0, 1), generates an analytic Co-semigroup on Lp((0, 1), 1/α) ≔ {uLp(0, 1)| |u|p/α ∈ L1(0, 1)}, 1 < p < ∞, provided that some additional assumptions depending on the domain of A are required for α. The main tools used here are J. Neuberger's sufficient condition for analyticity and the Stein Interpolation Theorem.
