TL;DR
This work develops solvability theory for second-order parabolic equations in the whole space with time-measurable and space–BMO coefficients within odd mixed-norm Morrey–Sobolev spaces ${\sf E}^{1,2}_{q,p,\beta}$. By introducing the time-first mixed-norm ${\sf L}_{q,p}$ framework and Morrey refinements ${\sf E}_{q,p,\beta}$, the authors establish a priori estimates and existence/uniqueness results under small mean oscillation of the main coefficient and small Morrey norm of the lower-order term, using weighted harmonic analysis and localization. The paper handles rough singularities in the first-order terms and extends results to fully variable coefficients, with a pathway toward Itô stochastic applications. The combination of Fefferman–Stein type bounds, $A_p$ weights, and a continuity method yields robust solvability in this novel Morrey–Sobolev setting. These results advance solvability theory for parabolic equations with singular coefficients beyond classical Lebesgue/Sobolev frameworks and establish tools for stochastic and higher-order generalizations.
Abstract
We prove an existence and uniqueness theorem for second-order parabolic equations in the whole space with constant zeroth-order coefficient in mixed-norm Morrey-Sobolev spaces. The main coefficient $a$ is assumed to be measurable in $t$ and BMO in $x$ and the first-order coefficients $b$ are in an appropriate mixed-norm Morrey classes (thus admitting rather rough singularities). The mixed-norm Morrey-Sobolev spaces are ``odd'' in the sense that the interior integration in the formula defining the norm is performed with respect to $t$ and not to $x$ as is customary.
