Abstract

Let DD be a bounded C2C^2-domain. Consider the following Dirichlet initial-boundary problem of nonlocal operators with a drift: tu=Lκ(α)u+bu+f in R+×D,  uR+×Dc=0, u(0,)D=φ, \partial_t u={\mathscr L}^{(\alpha)}_\kappa u+b\cdot \nabla u+f\ \mathrm{in}\ \mathbb R_+\times D,\ \ u|_{\mathbb R_+\times D^c}=0,\ u(0,\cdot)|_{D}=\varphi, where α(0,2)\alpha\in(0,2) and Lκ(α)\mathscr L^{(\alpha)}_\kappa is an α\alpha-stable-like nonlocal operator with kernel function κ(x,z)\kappa(x,z) bounded from above and below by positive constants, and b:RdRdb:\mathbb R^d\to\mathbb R^d is a bounded CβC^\beta-function with α+β>1\alpha+\beta>1, f:R+×DRf: \mathbb R_+\times D\to\mathbb R is a CγC^\gamma-function in DD uniformly in tt with γ((1α)0,β]\gamma\in((1-\alpha)\vee 0,\beta], φCα+γ(D)\varphi\in C^{\alpha+\gamma}(D). Under some H\"older assumptions on κ\kappa, we show the existence of a unique classical solution uLloc(R+;Clocα+γ(D))×C(R+;Cb(D))u\in L^\infty_{loc}(\mathbb R_+; C^{\alpha+\gamma}_{loc}(D))\times C(\mathbb R_+; C_b(D)) to the above problem. Moreover, we establish the following probabilistic representation for uu u(t,x)=Ex(φ(Xt)1τD>t)+Ex(0tτDf(ts,Xs)ds), t0, xD, u(t,x)=\mathbb E_x \Big(\varphi(X_{t}){\bf 1}_{\tau_{D}>t}\Big)+\mathbb E_x\left(\int^{t\wedge\tau_{D}}_0f(t-s,X_s){\rm d} s\right),\ t\geq 0,\ x\in D, where ((Xt)t0,Px;xRd)((X_t)_{t\geq 0},\mathbb P_x; x\in\mathbb R^d) is the Markov process associated with the operator Lκ(α)+b\mathscr L^{(\alpha)}_\kappa+b\cdot \nabla, and τD\tau_D is the first exit time of XX from DD. In the sub and critical case α[1,2)\alpha\in[1,2), the kernel function κ\kappa can be rough in zz. In the supercritical case α(0,1)\alpha\in(0,1), we classify the boundary points according to the sign of b(z)n(z)b(z)\cdot\vec{n}(z), where zDz\in\partial D and n(z)\vec{n}(z) is the unit outward normal vector. Finally, we provide an example and simulate it by Monte-Carlo method to show our results.
