Abstract
Using the theory of heat invariants we present an efficient and economical method of obtaining the higher coefficients of the asymptotic expansion of the trace of the heat semigroup for the Dirichlet and (generalized) Neumann Laplacians acting on an m-dimensional ball. The results are presented in the form of explicit formulae for the first 10 coefficients as functions of m.
