Extract

An initial-boundary-value problem is considered for the heat equation in an infinite angle dθrR2 × [0, ∞) with the oblique derivative boundary conditions on the faces λi of the angle:

with either h0 + h1 > 0, or h0 + h1 ≦ 0. The unique solvability of such a problem is proved in appropriate weighted Sobolev spaces according to the sign of h0 + h1. Estimates of the solution are obtained under ‘natural’ restrictions on the opening of the angle.
