Elliptic and parabolic equations with Dirichlet conditions at infinity on Riemannian manifolds

Abstract

We investigate existence and uniqueness of bounded solutions of parabolic equations with unbounded coefficients in $M\times {\mathbb{R}}_{+}$, where $M$ is a complete noncompact Riemannian manifold. Under specific assumptions, we establish existence of solutions satisfying prescribed conditions at infinity, depending on the direction along which infinity is approached. Moreover, the large-time behavior of such solutions is studied. We consider also elliptic equations on $M$ with similar conditions at infinity.
