Abstract

In this paper we study the second-order parabolic equation

formula here

in a domain [0,T]×ℝd ⊂ ℝd+1, where a = (aij)di,j=1 is matrix of bounded measurable coefficients, b = (bj)dj=1, and = (j)dj=1 are measurable (in general, singular) vector fields, V is a measurable potential, T is a fixed positive number, and ∂tu = ∂u/∂t, and we employ the notation

formula here

We introduce a new class of coefficients in the lower-order terms for which we prove the existence and the uniqueness of the weak fundamental solution, and for this we derive Gaussian upper and lower bounds.
