Abstract
We prove Gaussian upper bounds for kernels associated with
non-symmetric, non-autonomous second order parabolic operators of
divergence form subject to various boundary conditions. The growth of
the kernel in time t is determined by the boundary conditions and
geometric properties of the domain. The theory gives a unified
treatment for Dirichlet, Neumann and Robin boundary conditions, and
the existence of a Gaussian type bound is essentially reduced to
verifying some properties of the Hilbert space in the weak formulation
of the problem.
