Existence and regularity of solutions of elliptic PDE in $\mathbb{R}^n$

94 Views Asked by At

I try to find some references about the theory of elliptic PDE in an infinite domain. The references I am aware of (Brezis, Evans) present only the case where the equation is posed in bounded open subset of $\mathbb{R}^n$.

Specifically I consider the following PDE in $\mathbb{R}^n$:

$$ A(x,y)^2u_{xx}+B(x,y)^2u_{yy}+C(x,y)u_x+D(x,y)u_y=0 $$

where $A,B,C$ and $D$ are $C^{\infty}$ smooth.

Question: When does a solution exists (I don't care of uniqueness) ? When is this solution $C^{\infty}$ smooth ?
