Abstract

In this paper we develop a new method based on Littlewood-Paley's decomposition and heat kernel estimates of integral form, to establish Schauder's estimate for the following degenerate nonlocal equation in R2d\mathbb R^{2d} with H\"older coefficients: tu=Lκ;v(α)u+bu+f, u0=0, \partial_tu=\mathscr L^{(\alpha)}_{\kappa;{\rm v}} u+b\cdot\nabla u+f,\ u_0=0, where u=u(t,x,v)u=u(t,x,{\rm v}) and Lκ;v(α)\mathscr L^{(\alpha)}_{\kappa;{\rm v}} is a nonlocal α\alpha-stable-like operator with α(1,2)\alpha\in(1,2) and kernel function κ\kappa, which acts on the variable v{\rm v}. As an application, we show the strong well-posedness to the following degenerate stochastic differential equation with H\"older drift bb: dZt=b(t,Zt)dt+(0,σ(t,Zt)dLt(α)),  Z0=(x,v)R2d, {\rm d}Z_t=b(t,Z_t){\rm d}t+(0,\sigma(t,Z_t){\rm d}L^{(\alpha)}_t),\ \ Z_0=(x,{\rm v})\in\mathbb R^{2d}, where Lt(α)L^{(\alpha)}_t is a dd-dimensional rotationally invariant and symmetric α\alpha-stable process with α(1,2)\alpha\in(1,2), and b:R+×R2dR2db:\mathbb R_+\times\mathbb R^{2d}\to\mathbb R^{2d} is a (γ,β)(\gamma,\beta)-H\"older continuous function in (x,v)(x,{\rm v}) with γ(2+α2(1+α),1)\gamma\in\big(\frac{2+\alpha}{2(1+\alpha)},1\big) and β(1α2,1)\beta\in\big(1-\frac{\alpha}{2},1\big), σ:R+×R2dRdRd\sigma:\mathbb R_+\times\mathbb R^{2d}\to\mathbb R^d\otimes\mathbb R^d is a Lipschitz function. Moreover, we also show that for almost all ω\omega, the following random transport equation has a unique Cb1C^1_b-solution: tu(t,x,ω)+(b(t,x)+Lt(α)(ω))xu(t,x,ω)=0,  u(0,x)=φ(x), \partial_tu(t,x,\omega)+(b(t,x)+L^{(\alpha)}_t(\omega))\cdot\nabla_x u(t,x,\omega)=0,\ \ u(0,x)=\varphi(x), where φCb1(Rd)\varphi\in C^1_b(\mathbb R^d) and b:R+×RdRdb:\mathbb R_+\times\mathbb R^d\to\mathbb R^d is a bounded continuous function in (t,x)(t,x) and γ\gamma-order H\"older continuous in xx uniformly in tt with γ(2+α2(1+α),1)\gamma\in\big(\frac{2+\alpha}{2(1+\alpha)},1\big).
