Abstract

For d2d\ge 2 and 0<β<α<20<\beta<\alpha<2, consider a family of non-local operators Lb=Δα/2+Sb\mathcal{L}^{b}=\Delta^{\alpha/2}+\mathcal{S}^{b} on Rd\mathbb{R}^d, where Sbf(x):=limε0A(d,β){zRd:z>ε}(f(x+z)f(x))b(x,z)zd+βdz, \mathcal{S}^{b}f(x):=\lim_{\varepsilon\to 0}\mathcal{A}(d,-\beta)\int_{ \{z\in \mathbb{R}^d: |z|>\varepsilon\}} (f(x+z)-f(x))\frac{b(x,z)}{|z|^{d+\beta}}\,dz, and b(x,z)b(x,z) is a bounded measurable function on Rd×Rd\mathbb{R}^{d}\times\mathbb{R}^{d} with b(x,z)=b(x,z)b(x,z)=b(x,-z) for every x,zRdx,z\in\mathbb{R}^{d}. Here A(d,β){\cal A}(d, -\beta) is a normalizing constant so that Sb=(Δ)β/2\mathcal{S}^b=-(-\Delta)^{\beta/2} when b(x,z)1b(x, z)\equiv 1. It was recently shown in Chen and Wang [arXiv:1312.7594 [math.PR]] that when b(x,z)A(d,α)A(d,β)zβαb(x, z) \geq -\frac{\mathcal{A}(d, -\alpha)} {\mathcal{A}(d, -\beta)}\, |z|^{\beta -\alpha}, then Lb\mathcal{L}^b admits a unique fundamental solution pb(t,x,y)p^b(t, x, y) which is strictly positive and continuous. The kernel pb(t,x,y)p^b(t, x, y) uniquely determines a conservative Feller process XbX^b, which has strong Feller property. The Feller process XbX^b is also the unique solution to the martingale problem of (Lb,S(Rd))(\mathcal{L}^b, \mathcal{S}(\mathbb{R}^d)), where S(Rd)\mathcal{S}(\mathbb{R}^d) denotes the space of tempered functions on Rd\mathbb{R}^d. In this paper, we are concerned with the subprocess Xb,DX^{b,D} of XbX^{b} killed upon leaving a bounded C1,1C^{1,1} open set DRdD\subset \mathbb{R}^d. We establish explicit sharp two-sided estimates for the transition density function of Xb,DX^{b, D}.
