On approximation theorems for solutions to strongly parabolic systems in anisotropic Sobolev spaces

Abstract

We investigate the problem on Runge pairs for Sobolev solutions of strongly uniformly parabolic systems in non-cylindrical domains of a special kind. We prove that if the coefficients of a parabolic operator are constant, then two domains with sufficiently smooth boundaries, no parts of which are parallel to the plane $t=0$, form a Runge pair if and only if the complements of any section of the larger domain to the section of the smaller domain by planes $t = const$, have no compact components in the larger section.
