Abstract

If Ω is a Lip(1,1//2) domain, μ a doubling measure on pΩ,/t-Li, i = 0,1, are two parabolic-type operators with coefficients bounded and measurable, 2 ≤ q < ∞, then the associated measures ω0, ω1 have the property that ω0Bq(μ) implies ω1 is absolutely continuous with respect to ω0 whenever a certain Carleson-type condition holds on the difference function of the coefficients of L1 and L0. Also ω0Bq(μ) implies ω1Bq(μ) whenever both measures are center-doubling measures. This is B. Dahlberg's result for elliptic measures extended to parabolic-type measures on time-varying domains. The method of proof is that of Fefferman, Kenig and Pipher.

Keywords

parabolic-type measures, Lip (1,1/2) domain, good-λ inequalities
