A bit of history

If P is elliptic in Ω and if s ≥ 1 then G s(Ω;P) ⊂ G s(Ω).Kotake–Narasimhan (1962), Lions–Magenes (1968). Microlocalversion: Bolley–Camus–Mattera (1978)

If ∃s > 1 : G s(Ω;P) ⊂ G s(Ω) then P is elliptic. Metivier (1978)

Assume P of principal type and hypoelliptic. Then P is subellipticand analytic-hypoelliptic (Treves, 1971).

If U ⊂⊂ Ω and if s ≥ 1 then G s(U;P) ⊂ G s′(U), where

s ′ = (sm − δ)/(m − δ);0 ≤ δ < 1: subellipticity index of P over U.

First remarks

If u ∈ L∞loc(Ω) and Lju ∈ G s(Ω), j = 1, . . . , n, then u ∈ G s(Ω;L).

If u ∈ C 1(Ω) is such that

Lju = gj(x , t, u), j = 1, . . . , n,

where gj ∈ G s(Ω,O(C)), j = 1, . . . , n, then u ∈ G s(Ω;L).

If u ∈ G s(Ω;L) then WFs(u) is contained in the characteristic set ofL. In particular, G s(Ω;L) ⊂ G s(Ω) when L is elliptic and s ≥ 1.
