On Extraction of Smooth Solutions of a Class of Almost Hypoelliptic Equations with Constant Power

Abstract

A linear differential operator P(x, D) = P(x1,... x n , D1,..., D n ) = ∑αγα(x)Dα with coefficients γα(x) defined in E n is called formally almost hypoelliptic in E n if all the derivatives DνξP(x, ξ) can be estimated by P(x, ξ), and the operator P(x, D) has uniformly constant power in En. In the present paper, we prove that if P(x, D) is a formally almost hypoelliptic operator, then all solutions of equation P(x, D)u = 0, which together with some of their derivatives are square integrable with a specified exponential weight, are infinitely differentiable functions.
