Schauder estimates, Harnack inequality and Gaussian lower bound for Kolmogorov-type operators in non-divergence form
Marco Di Francesco and Sergio Polidoro
Abstract
We prove some Schauder-type estimates and an invariant Harnack inequality for a class of degenerate evolution operators of Kolmogorov type. We also prove a Gaussian lower bound for the fundamental solution of the operator and a uniqueness result for the Cauchy problem. The proof of the lower bound is obtained by solving a suitable optimal control problem and using the invariant Harnack inequality.
