In this paper we study the second-order parabolic equation

in a domain [0,T]xRd
Rd+1, where
is matrix of bounded measurable coefficients,
, and
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
![]() |
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.
