Heat equation for weighted Banach space valued function spaces

We study the homogeneous equation (*) $u' = \Delta u$, $t > 0$, $u(0)=f\in wX$, where $wX$ is a weighted Banach space, $w(x)= (1+||x||)^k$, x\in \r^n with $k\ge 0$, $\Delta$ is the Laplacian, $Y$ a complex Banach space and $X$ one of the spaces BUC (\r^n,Y)\} , C_0 (\r^n,Y), L^p (\r^n,Y), $1 \le p < \infty$. It is shown that the mild solutions of (*) are still given by the classical Gauss-Poisson formula, a holomorphic $C_0$-semigroup.
