Equivalence of definitions of fractional caloric functions

Analysis of PDEs 2026-04-21 v2 Probability

Abstract

We prove equivalence between nonnegative distributional solutions of the fractional heat equation and caloric functions, i.e., functions satisfying the mean value property with respect to the space-time isotropic α\alpha-stable process. We also provide sufficient conditions for the boundary and exterior data under which the solutions are classical and we give off-diagonal estimates for the derivatives of the Dirichlet heat kernel and the lateral Poisson kernel, which might be of their own interest.
