Abstract

In this paper, we study Dirichlet problem for non-local operator on bounded domains in Rd{\mathbb R}^d Lu=div(A(x)(x))+b(x)u(x)+Rd(u(y)u(x))J(x,dy), {\cal L}u = {\rm div}(A(x) \nabla (x)) + b(x) \cdot \nabla u(x) + \int_{{\mathbb R}^d} (u(y)-u(x) ) J(x, 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{\mathbb R}^d that is uniformly elliptic and bounded, bb is an Rd{\mathbb R}^d-valued function so that b2|b|^2 is in some Kato class Kd{\mathbb K}_d, for each xRdx\in {\mathbb R}^d, J(x,dy)J(x, dy) is a finite measure on Rd{\mathbb R}^d so that xJ(x,Rd)x\mapsto J(x, {\mathbb R}^d) is in the Kato class Kd{\mathbb K}_d. We show there is a unique Feller process XX having strong Feller property associated with L{\cal L}, which can be obtained from the diffusion process having generator div(A(x)(x))+b(x)u(x) {\rm div}(A(x) \nabla (x)) + b(x) \cdot \nabla u(x) through redistribution. We further show that for any bounded connected open subset DRdD\subset{\mathbb R}^d that is regular with respect to the Laplace operator Δ\Delta and for any bounded continuous function φ\varphi on DcD^c, the Dirichlet problem Lu=0{\cal L} u=0 in DD with u=φu=\varphi on DcD^c has a unique bounded continuous weak solution on Rd{\mathbb R}^d. This unique weak solution can be represented in terms of the Feller process associated with L{\cal L}.
