Abstract

Let α(0,2)\alpha\in (0,2), let E(u,u)=RdRd(u(y)u(x))2A(x,y)xyd+αdydx{\cal E}(u,u)=\int_{\Bbb R^d}\int_{\Bbb R^d} (u(y)-u(x))^2\frac{A(x,y)}{|x-y|^{d+\alpha}}\, dy\, dx be the Dirichlet form for a stable-like operator, let Γu(x)=Rd(u(y)u(x))2A(x,y)xyd+αdy,\Gamma u(x)=\int_{\Bbb R^d} (u(y)-u(x))^2\frac{A(x,y)}{|x-y|^{d+\alpha}}\, dy, let LL be the associated infinitesimal generator, and suppose A(x,y)A(x,y) is jointly measurable, symmetric, bounded, and bounded below by a positive constant. We prove that if uu is the weak solution to Lu=hLu=h, then ΓuLp\Gamma u\in L^p for some p>2p>2. This is the analogue of an inequality of Meyers for solutions to divergence form elliptic equations. As an application, we prove strong stability results for stable-like operators. If AA is perturbed slightly, we give explicit bounds on how much the semigroup and fundamental solution are perturbed.
