N2 - For d ≥ 1 and 0 < β < α < 2, consider a family of pseudo differential operators {Δα + aβΔβ/2; a ∈ [0, 1]} on ℝd that evolves continuously from Δα/2 to Δα/2 + Δβ/2. It gives arise to a family of Lévy processes {Xa, a ∈ [0, 1]} on ℝd, where each Xa is the independent sum of a symmetric α-stable process and a symmetric β-stable process with weight a. For any C1,1 open set D ⊂ ℝd, we establish explicit sharp two-sided estimates, which are uniform in a ∈ (0, 1], for the transition density function of the subprocess Xa,D of Xa killed upon leaving the open set D. The infinitesimal generator of Xa,D is the nonlocal operator Δα + aβΔβ/2 with zero exterior condition on Dc. As consequences of these sharp heat kernel estimates, we obtain uniform sharp Green function estimates for Xa,D and uniform boundary Harnack principle for Xa in D with explicit decay rate.
