Heat flow from polygons

Abstract

We study the heat flow from an open, bounded set DD in R2\R^2 with a polygonal boundary D\partial D. The initial condition is the indicator function of DD. A Dirichlet 00 boundary condition has been imposed on some but not all of the edges of D\partial D. We calculate the heat content of DD in R2\R^2 at tt up to an exponentially small remainder as t0t\downarrow 0.
