The asymptotic behavior of the heat kernel of a Riemannian manifold gives rise to the classical concepts of parabolicity, stochastic completeness (or conservative property) and Feller property (or $C^{0}$-diffusion property). Both…

We derive all heat kernel coefficients for Laplacians acting on scalars, vectors, and tensors on fully symmetric spaces, in any dimension. Final expressions are easy to evaluate and implement, and confirmed independently using spectral sums…

The spectral problem where the field satisfies Dirichlet conditions on one part of the boundary of the relevant domain and Neumann on the remainder is discussed. It is shown that there does not exist a classical asymptotic expansion for…

The Dirichlet problem on a bounded planar domain is more readily understood and solved for the Laplace operator than it is for a Schrodinger operator. When the potential function is small, we might hope to approximate the solution to the…
