On the maximal lp-lq regularity of solutions to a general linear parabolic system

We show the existence of solution in the maximal Lp - Lq regularity framework to a class of symmetric parabolic problems on a uniformly C2 domain in Rn. Our approach consist in showing R - boundedness of families of solution operators to corresponding resolvent problems first in the whole space, then in half-space, perturbed half-space and finally, using localization arguments, on the domain. Assuming additionally boudedness of the domain we also show exponential decay of the solution. In particular, our approach does not require assuming a priori the uniform Lopatinskii - Shapiro condition.
