1 Introduction
The differential operators of Bessel type and the Laplace-Beltrami operator on the hyperbolic space are known as very important operators in analysis and its applications. This paper deals with the Poisson and heat semigroups associated to these second order differential operators. In the last decades the Poisson and heat semigroups associated to many second differential operators have been studied and computed explicitly and there is many interesting papers published in this area of reaserch(see for example Betancor et al.[2], Isolda Cardoso[7], Keles and Bayrakci[15], Stein [16] and the references theirin). The main objective of this paper is to solve explicitly the following Poisson and heat problems
[TABLE]
[TABLE]
and
[TABLE]
[TABLE]
where
[TABLE]
and
[TABLE]
are respectively the Bessel operator on and the Laplace-Beltrami operator on the half space model of the hyperbolic space .
2 Poisson semigroup associated to Bessel operator
In this section we give explicit formulas for the Poisson semigroup associated to the Bessel operator , that is we prove the following theorem.
Theorem 2.1**.**
For the Poisson problem (1.3) has the solution given by

Proof.
To see that the function satisfes the Poisson equation in (1.3), set , with , then we have
[TABLE]

[TABLE]
Using the above formulas we have
[TABLE]
and we see that the first equation in the problem (1.3) is equivalent to
[TABLE]
which is a particular case of Lommel differential equation for modified Bessel functions
[TABLE]
with , , and , an approprite solution is where is the modified Bessel function of second kind.
This means that the function satisfies the equations
[TABLE]
and in consequence it is a solution of the first equation in (1.3).
Using the formula we see that
[TABLE]
and satisfies the same equation in (1.3).
To finish the proof of Theorem 2.1 it remains to show the limit condition. For this set and and to obtain .
Replacing in (2.1) we obtain
[TABLE]
with
[TABLE]
Setting or we can write
[TABLE]
Now we use the asymptotic formula for the modified Bessel function of second kind (Lebedev [9] p.136) we obtain
[TABLE]
and this finishes the proof of Theorem 2.1. ∎
3 Poisson equation on the hyperbolic space
In this section we consider the Poisson equation on the hyperbolic upper half space.
Let be the hyperbolic half space endowed with the usual hyperbolic metric
