Title: Analytic semigroups generated by an operator matrix in L^2(Omega) X L^2(Omega) Author: Salah Badraoui (Univ. du 08 Mai 1945, Guelma, Algeria) Abstract: This article concerns the generation of analytic semigroups by an operator matrix in the space $L^2(\Omega)\times L^2(\Omega)$. We assume that one of the diagonal elements is strongly elliptic and the other is weakly elliptic, while the sum of the non-diagonal elements is weakly elliptic. Submitted June 15, 2012.
