Abstract:
Let M be a compact manifold with smooth boundary. We establish the existence of an asymptotic expansion for the heat content asymptotics of M with inhomogeneous Neumann and Dirichlet boundary conditions. We prove all the coefficients are locally determined and determine the first several terms in the asymptotic expansion.
