Spectral analysis for a discontinuous second order elliptic operator

<p>The spectrum of a second order elliptic operator <em>S</em>, with ellipticity constant <em>α</em> discontinuous in a point, is studied in <em>L^p</em> spaces. It turns out that, for <em>(α, p)</em> in a set <em>A</em>, classical re...
