On the operator \(\oplus_B^k\) related to Bessel heat equation (Q1958840): Difference between revisions

Summary: We study the equation \((\partial/\partial t)u(x,t)= c^2 \bigoplus_B^k u(x,t)\) with the initial condition \(u(x,0)= f(x)\) for \(x\in\mathbb R_n^+\). The operator \(\bigoplus_B^k\) is defined by \(\bigoplus_B^k= \left(\left( \sum_{i=1}^p B_{x_i}\right)^4- \left(\sum_{j=p+1}^{p+q} B_{x_i}\right)^4 \right)^k,\) where \(p+q=n\) is the dimension of the \(\mathbb R_n^+\), \(B_{x_i}= \partial^2/\partial x_i^2+ (2v_i/x_i)(\partial/\partial x_i)\), \(2v_i= 2\alpha_i+1\), \(\alpha_1>-1/2\), \(i=1,2,3,\dots,n\), and \(k\) is a nonnegative integer, \(u(x,t)\) is an unknown function for \((x,t)= (x_1,x_2,\dots,x_n,t)\in\mathbb R_n^+\times (0,\infty)\), \(f(x)\) is a given generalized function, and \(c\) is a positive constant. We obtain the solution of the equation, which is related to the spectrum and the kernel, which is the so-called Bessel heat kernel. Moreover, the Bessel heat kernel has interesting properties and is also related to the kernel of an extension of the heat equation.
