Heat equation for weighted Banach space valued function spaces

TL;DR

This paper investigates the heat equation in weighted Banach space valued function spaces, demonstrating that solutions are represented by classical semigroups, extending known results to weighted and vector-valued contexts.

Contribution

It extends the classical heat equation solution framework to weighted Banach spaces with vector-valued functions, showing the persistence of the Gauss-Poisson formula in this setting.

Findings

Solutions are given by classical Gaussian-based formulas

The semigroup approach applies to weighted Banach space functions

Results include various function space settings such as BUC, C0, and Lp

Abstract

We study the homogeneous equation (*) $ u' = \Delta u$, $t > 0$, $u(0)=f\in wX$, where $wX$ is a weighted Banach space, $w(x)= (1+||x||)^k$, $x\in \r^n$ with $k\ge 0$, $ \Delta$ is the Laplacian, $Y$ a complex Banach space and $X$ one of the spaces $ BUC (\r^n,Y)\} $, $ C_0 (\r^n,Y)$, $ L^p (\r^n,Y)$, $1 \le p < \infty$. It is shown that the mild solutions of (*) are still given by the classical Gauss-Poisson formula, a holomorphic $C_0$-semigroup.
