Abstract

We give a heat-kernel characterisation of the Besov-Lipschitz spaces Lip (α, p, q)(X) on domains which support a Markovian kernel with appropriate exponential bounds. This extends former results of Grigor’yan et al. (Trans Am Math Soc 355:2065–2095, 2008), Hu and Zähle (Studia Math 170:259–281, 2005), Pietruska-Pałuba (Stoch Stoch Rep 67:267–285, 1999; 70:153–164, 2000), which were valid for \({\alpha = \frac{d_w}{2}, p = 2, q = \infty}\), where d w is the walk dimension of the space X.
