Extract

The Laplacian operator Δ on a bounded domain Ω in ℝn containing 0, with Dirichlet boundary condition, is perturbed by a pseudopotential δ, the Dirac measure at 0. Such a perturbation will be defined in Lp(ℝ) for n = 2, 1 <lt; p < ∞, and for n = 3, < p < 3, and is shown to be the generator of an analytic semigroup. Thus solutions of the corresponding evolutionary system are well defined. The necessary estimates involve the Gagliardo– Nirenberg inequality and the Kato inequality.
