Dirichlet problem for diffusions with jumps

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

In this paper, we study Dirichlet problem on bounded open sets in Rd for non-local operators of the following form Lu=div(A(x)∇u(x))+b(x)⋅∇u(x)+∫Rd(u(y)−u(x))J(x,dy), where A(x)=(aij(x))1≤i,j≤d is a measurable d×d matrix-valued function on Rd that is uniformly elliptic and bounded, b is an Rd-valued function so that |b|2 is in some Kato class Kd, J(x,dy) is a finite measure on Rd for each x∈Rd so that x↦J(x,Rd) is in the Kato class Kd. We show there is a unique Feller process X having strong Feller property associated with L, which can be obtained from the diffusion process having generator div(A(x)∇u(x))+b(x)⋅∇u(x) through redistribution. We further show that for any bounded connected open subset D⊂Rd that is regular with respect to the Laplace operator Δ and for any bounded continuous function φ on Dc, the Dirichlet problem Lu=0 in D with u=φ on Dc has a unique bounded continuous weak solution on Rd. This unique weak solution can be represented in terms of the Feller process associated with L.
