Abstract

A class of interacting superprocesses arising from branching particle systems with continuous spatial motions, called superprocesses with dependent spatial motion (SDSMs), has been introduced and studied by Wang and by Dawson, Li and Wang. In this paper, we extend the model to allow discontinuous spatial motions. Under Lipschitz condition for coefficients, we show that under a proper rescaling, branching particle systems with jump-diffusion underlying motions in a random medium converge to a measure-valued process, called stable SDSM. We further characterize this stable SDSM as a unique solution of a well-posed martingale problem. To prove the uniqueness of the martingale problem, we establish the C 2+y-regularity for the transition semigroup of a class of jump-diffusion processes, which may be of independent interest.
