In this paper we study existence and spectral properties for weak solutions of Neumann and Dirichlet problems associated with second order linear degenerate elliptic partial differential operators X with rough coefficients, of the form X=−div(P∇)+HR+S′G+FX=−div(P∇)+HR+S′G+F, where the n×nn×n matrix function P=P(x)P=P(x) is nonnegative definite and allowed to degenerate, R, S are families of subunit vector fields, G, H are vector valued functions and F is a scalar function. We operate in a geometric homogeneous space setting and we assume the validity of certain Sobolev and Poincaré inequalities related to a symmetric nonnegative definite matrix of weights Q=Q(x)Q=Q(x) that is comparable to P ; we do not assume that the underlying measure is doubling. We give a maximum principle for weak solutions of Xu≤0Xu≤0, and we follow this with a result describing a relationship between compact projection of the degenerate Sobolev space QH1,pQH1,p, related to the matrix of weights Q , into LqLq and a Poincaré inequality with gain adapted to Q.
