Versions considered are: restricted Dirichlet, spectral Dirichlet and regional (censored) fractional Laplacians. The affiliated random processes comprise: killed, reflected and conditioned L\\'{e}vy flights, in particular those with an infinite life-time. The related concept of quasi-stationary distributions is briefly mentioned.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2018-02-27T12:36:00.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "bounded domains", "levy flights", "boundary data-respecting fractional laplacian", "affiliated random processes comprise", "spectral dirichlet" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
