Abstract In this paper we consider the first initial boundary-value problem for the heat equation with variable coefficients in a domain (0; 1)x(0; 1)x(0; T]. We assume that the solution of the problem and the coefficients of the equation belong to the corresponding anisotropic Sobolev spaces. Convergence rate estimate which is consistent with the smoothness of the data is obtained.

Abstract We study the tail asymptotic of subexponential probability densities on the real line. Namely, we show that the n-fold convolution of a subexponential probability density on the real line is asymptotically equivalent to this density multiplied by n. We prove Kesten's bound, which gives a uniform in n estimate of the n-fold convolution by the tail of the density. We also introduce a class of regular subexponential functions and use it to find an analogue of Kesten's bound for functions on ℝd. The results are applied to the study of the fundamental solution to a nonlocal heat equation.


An asymptotic expansion is derived for the Fourier integral f ^ ( x ) = 1 ( 2 π ) n / 2 ∫ R n exp ( − | q | 2 m + i x ⋅ q ) d q , x ε R n as | x | →∞, where m is a positive integer. From this, it is deduced that the fundamental solution to the ‘heat’ equation ∂ u / ∂ t = − ( − Δ ) m u has an infinite number of zeros tending to infinity.
