How can one prove that the function



$F: mathbb{R}^n times mathbb{R}^+ text{ {0}} to mathbb{R}$ with



$$F(x,t) := t^{-n/2} exp(-frac{Vert x Vert_2^2}{4t})$$



is a solution of the partial differential equation



$$Delta F - frac{partial F}{partial t} = 0$$



I know that this can be done using the Laplace operator, which is given by $Delta := sum_{i=1}^n frac{partial^2}{partial x_i^2}$, but I don't know what the partial derivative of $Delta F - frac{partial F}{partial t} = 0$ looks like.

It's very long, so let me help you with some expressions



$$Vert x Vert _2^{2} = x_1^2 + x_2^2 + cdots + x_n^2, $$



$$ dfrac{partial}{partial x_i}(x_1^2 + x_2^2 + cdots + x_n^2) = 2x_i, $$



$$dfrac{partial}{partial x_i}, exp! Big(-dfrac{Vert x Vert_2^2}{4t} Big) = exp! Big(-dfrac{Vert x Vert_2^2}{4t} Big) cdot dfrac{-1}{4t} cdot 2x_i, $$



$$dfrac{partial^2}{partial x_i^2}, exp! Big(-dfrac{Vert x Vert_2^2}{4t} Big) = dfrac{-1}{4t} Bigg[ exp! Big(-dfrac{Vert x Vert_2^2}{4t} Big) cdot dfrac{-1}{4t} cdot 2x_i cdot 2 x_i + exp! Big(-dfrac{Vert x Vert_2^2}{4t} Big) cdot 2Bigg] $$



$$dfrac{partial}{partial t} Big( t^{-n/2} exp(-frac{Vert x Vert_2^2}{4t}) Big) = dfrac{-n t^{n/2-1}}{2} exp !Big(-dfrac{Vert x Vert_2^2}{4t} Big) + t^{-n/2} exp! Big(-frac{Vert x Vert_2^2}{4t} Big) cdot dfrac{Vert x Vert_2^2}{4t^2}.$$



Can you continue with the calculations?
