Abstract: We consider an approximate solution to the heat equation which consists of the derivatives of heat kernel. Some conditions in the initial value, under which the approximation converges to the solution of the heat equation or diverges when the number of terms of the approximation goes to infinity with a fixed time $t$, will be given. For example, when the initial data is a Gaussian $$, the approximation converges when $t>t_0$. But if $t<t_0$, it diverges to infinity. Also the $L^{i}nfty$-error estimate will be given and the meaning of the approximation will be clarified by comparing with eigenfunction expansion.
