Dirichlet Heat Kernel Estimates for $Δ^{α/2}+ Δ^{β/2}$
For $d\geq 1$ and $0<β<α<2$, consider a family of pseudo differential operators $\{Δ^α + a^βΔ^{β/2}; a \in [0, 1]\}$ that evolves continuously from $Δ^{α/2}$ to $ Δ^{α/2}+ Δ^{β/2}$. It gives arise to a family of Lévy processes \{$X^a, a\in [0, 1]\}$, where each $X^a$ is the sum of independent a symmetric $α$-stable process and a symmetric $β$-stable process with weight $a$. For any $C^{1,1}$ open set $D$, we establish explicit sharp two-sided estimates (uniform in $a\in [0,1]$) for the transition density function of the subprocess $X^{a, D}$ of $X^a$ killed upon leaving the open set $D$. The infinitesimal generator of $X^{a, D}$ is the non-local operator $Δ^α + a^βΔ^{β/2}$ with zero exterior condition on $D^c$. As consequences of these sharp heat kernel estimates, we obtain uniform sharp Green function estimates for $X^{a, D}$ and uniform boundary Harnack principle for $X^a$ in $D$ with explicit decay rate.
