Abstract

We consider fractional operators of the form Hs=(tdivx(A(x,t)x))s, (x,t)Rn×R,\mathcal{H}^s=(\partial_t -\mathrm{div}_{x} ( A(x,t)\nabla_{x}))^s,\ (x,t)\in\mathbb R^n\times\mathbb R, where s(0,1)s\in (0,1) and A=A(x,t)={Ai,j(x,t)}i,j=1nA=A(x,t)=\{A_{i,j}(x,t)\}_{i,j=1}^{n} is an accretive, bounded, complex, measurable, n×nn\times n-dimensional matrix valued function. We study the fractional operators Hs{\mathcal{H}}^s and their relation to the initial value problem (λ12su)(λ)=λ12sHu(λ),λ(0,),(\lambda^{1-2s}\mathrm{u}')'(\lambda) =\lambda^{1-2s}\mathcal{H} \mathrm{u}(\lambda), \quad \lambda\in (0, \infty), u(0)=u,\mathrm{u}(0) = u, in R+×Rn×R\mathbb R_+\times \mathbb R^n\times\mathbb R. Exploring this type of relation, and making the additional assumption that A=A(x,t)={Ai,j(x,t)}i,j=1nA=A(x,t)=\{A_{i,j}(x,t)\}_{i,j=1}^{n} is real, we derive some local properties of solutions to the non-local Dirichlet problem \mathcal{H}^su=(\partial_t -\mathrm{div}_{x} ( A(x,t)\nabla_{x}))^s u=0\ \mbox{ for $(x,t)\in \Omega \times J$}, u=f\ \mbox{ for $(x,t)\in \mathbb R^{n+1}\setminus (\Omega \times J)$}. Our contribution is that we allow for non-symmetric and time-dependent coefficients.
