Abstract

Let (Lt)t0(L_t)_{t \geq 0} be a kk-dimensional L\'evy process and σ:RdRd×k\sigma: \mathbb{R}^d \to \mathbb{R}^{d \times k} a continuous function such that the L\'evy-driven stochastic differential equation (SDE) dXt=σ(Xt)dLt,X0μdX_t = \sigma(X_{t-}) \, dL_t, \qquad X_0 \sim \mu has a unique weak solution. We show that the solution is a Feller process whose domain of the generator contains the smooth functions with compact support if, and only if, the L\'evy measure ν\nu of the driving L\'evy process (Lt)t0(L_t)_{t \geq 0} satisfies ν({yRk;σ(x)y+x<r})x0.\nu(\{y \in \mathbb{R}^k; |\sigma(x)y+x|<r\}) \xrightarrow[]{|x| \to \infty} 0.
