Abstract: Let alpha(x) be a measurable function taking values in [alpha1,alpha2] for 0<A1leA2<2, and kappa(x,z) be a positive measurable function that is symmetric in z and bounded between two positive constants. Under a uniform H"older continuous assumptions on alpha(x) and xmapstokappa(x,z), we obtain existence, upper and lower bounds, and regularity properties of the heat kernel associated with the following non-local operator of variable order LL f(x)=int_{R^d}�ig(f(x+z)-f(x)-langle abla f(x), z angle I_{{|z|le 1}}�ig) frac{kappa(x,z)}{|z|^{d+alpha(x)}},dz. In particular, we show that the operator LL generates a conservative Feller process on Rd having the strong Feller property, which is usually assumed a priori in the literature to study analytic properties of LL via probabilistic approaches. Our near-diagonal estimates and lower bound estimates of the heat kernel depend on the local behavior of index function alpha(x), when alpha(x)equivAin(0,2), our results recover some results by Chen and Kumagai (2003) and Chen and Zhang (2016).
