Title: On the ellipticity and solvability of an abstract second-order differential equation Authors: Abdelillah El Haial (Univ. du Havre, France) Rabah Labbas (Univ. du Havre, France) Abstract: In this work we give some new results on a complete abstract second-order differential equation of elliptic type in the non-homogeneous case. Existence, uniqueness, and maximal regularity of the strict solution are proved under some natural assumptions which imply the ellipticity of the differential equation. Submitted November 15, 1998.
