A linear second order elliptic equation describing heat or mass diffusion and convection on a given velocity field is considered in $R^3$. The corresponding operator $L$ may not satisfy the Fredholm property. In this case, solvability conditions for the equation $L u = f$ are not known. In this work, we derive solvability conditions in $H^2(R^3)$ for the non self-adjoint problem by relating it to a self-adjoint Schrödinger type operator, for which solvability conditions are obtained in our previous work [13].
Keywords: Solvability conditions, porous medium, continuous spectrum., adjoint operator.
