Elliptic operators with unbounded diffusion coefficients in L p spaces
Annali della Scuola Normale Superiore di Pisa - Classe di Scienze, Série 5, Tome 11 (2012) no. 2, pp. 303-340.

We prove that, for N3, α>2, N N-2<p<, the operator Lu=m(x)(1+|x| α )Δu generates an analytic semigroup in L p which is contractive if and only if pN+α-2 N-2. Moreover, for α<N p ' , we provide an explicit description of the domain. Spectral properties of the operator L are also obtained.
