We study solutions of the Dirichlet problem for a second-order parabolic equation with variable coefficients in domains with nonsmooth lateral surface. The asymptotic expansion of the solution in powers of the parabolic distance is obtained in a neighborhood of a singular point of the boundary. The exponents in this expansion are poles of the resolvent of an operator pencil associated with the model problem obtained by ~freezing" the coefficients at the singular point. The main point of the paper is in proving that the re.solvent is meromorphic and in estimating it. In the one-dimensional case, the poles of the resolvent satisfy a transcendental equation and can be expressed via parabolic cylinder functions.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
