Abstract

In this paper, we consider the following type of non-local (pseudo-differential) operators \LL\LL on Rd\R^d: \LLu(x)=12i,j=1dxi(aij(x)xj)+lim\eps0{yRd:yx>\eps}(u(y)u(x))J(x,y)dy, \LL u(x) =\frac12 \sum_{i, j=1}^d \frac{\partial}{\partial x_i} (a_{ij}(x) \frac{\partial}{\partial x_j}) + \lim_{\eps \downarrow 0} \int_{\{y\in \R^d: |y-x|>\eps\}} (u(y)-u(x)) J(x, y) dy, where A(x)=(aij(x))1i,jdA(x)=(a_{ij}(x))_{1\leq i, j\leq d} is a measurable d×dd\times d matrix-valued function on Rd\R^d that is uniform elliptic and bounded and JJ is a symmetric measurable non-trivial non-negative kernel on Rd×Rd\R^d\times \R^d satisfying certain conditions. Corresponding to \LL\LL is a symmetric strong Markov process XX on Rd\R^d that has both the diffusion component and pure jump component. We establish a priori H\"older estimate for bounded parabolic functions of \LL\LL and parabolic Harnack principle for positive parabolic functions of \LL\LL. Moreover, two-sided sharp heat kernel estimates are derived for such operator \LL\LL and jump-diffusion XX. In particular, our results apply to the mixture of symmetric diffusion of uniformly elliptic divergence form operator and mixed stable-like processes on Rd\R^d. To establish these results, we employ methods from both probability theory and analysis.
