Abstract

For d1d\geq 1 and 0<β<α<20<\beta<\alpha<2, consider a family of pseudo differential operators {Δα+aβΔβ/2;a[0,1]}\{\Delta^{\alpha} + a^\beta \Delta^{\beta/2}; a \in [0, 1]\} that evolves continuously from Δα/2\Delta^{\alpha/2} to Δα/2+Δβ/2 \Delta^{\alpha/2}+ \Delta^{\beta/2}. It gives arise to a family of L\'evy processes \{Xa,a[0,1]}X^a, a\in [0, 1]\}, where each XaX^a is the sum of independent a symmetric α\alpha-stable process and a symmetric β\beta-stable process with weight aa. For any C1,1C^{1,1} open set DD, we establish explicit sharp two-sided estimates (uniform in a[0,1]a\in [0,1]) for the transition density function of the subprocess Xa,DX^{a, D} of XaX^a killed upon leaving the open set DD. The infinitesimal generator of Xa,DX^{a, D} is the non-local operator Δα+aβΔβ/2\Delta^{\alpha} + a^\beta \Delta^{\beta/2} with zero exterior condition on DcD^c. As consequences of these sharp heat kernel estimates, we obtain uniform sharp Green function estimates for Xa,DX^{a, D} and uniform boundary Harnack principle for XaX^a in DD with explicit decay rate.
