contents We develop a parametrix approach for constructing solutions and establishing grid-size independent estimates for semi-discrete heat equations with variable coefficients. While the classical continuous setting benefits from Gaussian estimates of the constant coefficient heat kernel, such estimates are not available in the semi-discrete context. To address this complication, we derive estimates involving products of heavy-tailed Lorentz (also known as Cauchy) probability densities. These Lorentzian estimates provide a sufficient handle on certain iterated convolutions involving Bessel functions, enabling us to achieve convergence of the parametrix approach.
