Semigroups generated in Lp-spaces by some dispersal process including semi-permeability conditions at the interface

We study an elliptic differential equation set in two habitats under semi-permeability conditions at the interface. This equation describes some dispersal process in population dynamics. Using functional calculus and results in Lutz Weis [22] among others, we show that the associated space operator generates an analytic semigroup in Lp-spaces.
