Abstract: | Upper bounds are obtained for the heat content of an open set D in a geodesically complete Riemannian manifold M with Dirichlet boundary condition on ?D, and non-negative initial condition. We show that these upper bounds are close to being sharp if (i) the Dirichlet-Laplace-Beltrami operator acting in L 2(D) satisfies a strong Hardy inequality with weight δ2, (ii) the initial temperature distribution, and the specific heat of D are given by δ?α and δ?β respectively, where δ is the distance to ?D, and 1 < α <2, 1 < β <2. |
