In this paper, we consider the following symmetric non-local Dirichlet forms of pure jump type on metric measure space $(M,d,\mu)$: $$\mathcal{E}(f,g)=\int_{M\times M} (f(x)-f(y))(g(x)-g(y))\,J(dx,dy),$$ where $J(dx,dy)$ is a symmetric…
In this work we study the degenerate diffusion equation $\partial_{t}=x^{\alpha}a\left(x\right)\partial_{x}^{2}+b\left(x\right)\partial_{x}$ for $\left(x,t\right)\in\left(0,\infty\right)^{2}$, equipped with a Cauchy initial data and the…
In this thesis we describe a type of metric space called an Euclidean polyhedral complex. We define a Dirichlet form on it; this is used to give a corresponding heat kernel. We provide a uniform small time Poincare inequality for complexes…
Wavelet bases and frames consisting of band limited functions of nearly exponential localization on Rd are a powerful tool in harmonic analysis by making various spaces of functions and distributions more accessible for study and…
We find a Gaussian off-diagonal heat kernel estimate for uniformly elliptic operators with measurable coefficients acting on regions $\Omega\subseteq\real^N$, where the order $2m$ of the operator satisfies $N<2m$. The estimate is expressed…
We establish pointwise estimates for the ground states of some classes of posi- tivity preserving operators. The considered operators are negatively perturbed (by measures) strongly local Dirichlet operators. These estimates will be written…
We prove sharp two-sided global estimates for the heat kernel associated with a Euclidean sphere of arbitrary dimension. This solves a long-standing open problem.
This paper is being replaced by another of the author's that contains a brief summary of the problem of positivity of Green's functions, heat kernels, and principal eigenvalues of higher-order elliptic differential operators.
This article concerns the Weyl series of spectral functions associated with the Dirichlet Laplacian in a $d$-dimensional domain with a smooth boundary. In the case of the heat kernel, Berry and Howls predicted the asymptotic form of the…
We present a novel kernel regression framework for smoothing scalar surface data using the Laplace-Beltrami eigenfunctions. Starting with the heat kernel constructed from the eigenfunctions, we formulate a new bivariate kernel regression…
We establish dimension-independent estimates related to heat operators e^{tL} on manifolds. We first develop a very general contractivity result for Markov kernels which can be applied to diffusion semigroups. Second, we develop estimates…
For diffusion-reaction equations employing a splitting procedure is attractive as it reduces the computational demand and facilitates a parallel implementation. Moreover, it opens up the possibility to construct second-order integrators…
Auscher, McIntosh and Tchamitchian studied the heat kernels of second order elliptic operators in divergence form with complex bounded measurable coefficients on $\mathbb{R}^n$. In particular, in the case when $n=2$ they obtained Gaussian…
In this paper we analyze the small-t asymptotic expansion of the trace of the heat kernel associated with a Laplace operator endowed with a spherically symmetric polynomially confining potential on the unbounded, d-dimensional Euclidean…
The heat kernel associated with the setting of the classical Jacobi polynomials is defined by an oscillatory sum which cannot be computed explicitly, in contrast to the situation for the two other classical systems of orthogonal…
We introduce and study interval partition diffusions with Poisson--Dirichlet$(\alpha,\theta)$ stationary distribution for parameters $\alpha\in(0,1)$ and $\theta\ge 0$. This extends previous work on the cases $(\alpha,0)$ and…
This paper is concerned with the study of Green's functions for one dimensional diffusions with constant diffusion coefficient and linear time inhomogeneous drift. It is well know that the whole line Green's function is given by a Gaussian.…
We consider the Schr\"odinger type operator ${\mathcal A}=(1+|x|^{\alpha})\Delta-|x|^{\beta}$, for $\alpha\in [0,2]$ and $\beta\ge 0$. We prove that, for any $p\in (1,\infty)$, the minimal realization of operator ${\mathcal A}$ in…
We prove upper and lower bounds of the heat kernel for the operator $\Delta-\nabla (\frac{1}{|x|^{\alpha}})\cdot \nabla $ in $\mathbb{R}^{n}\setminus\{0} $ where $\alpha >0$. We obtain these bounds from an isoperimetric inequality for a…
In this paper, we show that efficient separated sum-of-exponentials approximations can be constructed for the heat kernel in any dimension. In one space dimension, the heat kernel admits an approximation involving a number of terms that is…
