More precisely, we consider solutions to $\\partial_t u + (-\\Delta)^s u=0 \\textrm{ in }\\Omega,\\ t > 0$, with zero Dirichlet conditions in $\\mathbb{R}^n\\setminus \\Omega$ and with initial data $u_0\\in L^2(\\Omega)$. Using the results of the second author and Serra for the elliptic problem, we show that for all $t>0$ we have $u(\\cdot, t)\\in C^s(\\mathbb{R}^n)$ and $u(\\cdot, t)/\\delta^s \\in C^{s-\\epsilon}(\\overline\\Omega)$ for any $\\epsilon > 0$ and $\\delta(x) = \\textrm{dist}(x,\\partial\\Omega)$. Our regularity results apply not only to the fractional Laplacian but also to more general integro-differential operators, namely those corresponding to stable L\\'evy processes. As a consequence of our results, we show that solutions to the fractional heat equation satisfy a Pohozaev-type identity for positive times.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2014-11-30T20:12:21.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "boundary regularity", "fractional heat equation satisfy", "zero dirichlet conditions", "general integro-differential operators", "stable levy processes" ], "tags": [ "dissertation" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2014arXiv1412.0275F" } } }
