Abstract.In this paper, we study the equation

\begin{displaymath}\frac{\partial}{\partial t} u(x,t)=c^2\circledast^k_B u(x,t)\end{displaymath}

with the initial condition $u(x,0)=f(x)$ for $x\in\mathbb{R}^+_n$, where the operator $\circledast^k_B$ is defined by

\begin{displaymath}\circledast^k_B=\left[\left(B_{x_1}+\cdots+B_{x_p}\right)^3+\left(B_{x_{p+1}}+\cdots+B_{x_{p+q}}\right)^3\right]^k,\end{displaymath}

$p+q=n$ is the dimension of the space $\mathbb{R}^+_n=\{x=(x_1,x_2,\dots,x_n):x_1>0,x_2>0,\dots,x_n>0\}$, $B_{x_i}=\frac{\partial^2}{\partial x_i^2}+ \frac{2v_i}{x_i}\frac{\partial}{\partial x_i}$, $2v_i=2\alpha_i+1$, $\alpha_i>-\frac{1}{2}$, $i=1,2,\dots,n$, $u(x,t)$ is an unknown function for $(x,t)=(x_1,x_2,\dots,x_n,t)\in\mathbb{R}^+_n\times(0,\infty)$, $f(x)$ is a generalized function, $k$ is a positive integer and $c$ is a positive constant. We obtain the solution of such equation which is related to the spectrum and the heat kernel. Moreover, such Bessel heat kernel has interesting properties and also related to the kernel of an extension of the heat equation.
