Abstract

We study solutions of a class of higher order partial differential equations in bounded domains. These partial differential equations appeared first time in the papers of Allouba and Zheng \cite{allouba1}, Baeumer, Meerschaert and Nane \cite{bmn-07}, Meerschaert, Nane and Vellaisamy \cite{MNV}, and Nane \cite{nane-h}. We express the solutions by subordinating a killed Markov process by a hitting time of a stable subordinator of index 0<β<10<\beta <1, or by the absolute value of a symmetric α\alpha-stable process with 0<α20<\alpha\leq 2, independent of the Markov process. In some special cases we represent the solutions by running composition of kk independent Brownian motions, called kk-iterated Brownian motion for an integer k2k\geq 2. We make use of a connection between fractional-time diffusions and higher order partial differential equations established first by Allouba and Zheng \cite{allouba1} and later extended in several directions by Baeumer, Meerschaert and Nane \cite{bmn-07}.
