We prove that the martingale problem is well posed for pure-jump L\'evy-type operators of the form $$ (\mathcal Lf)(x) = \int_{\mathbb R^d \setminus \{0\}} \left(f(x+h)-f(x) - (\nabla f(x) \cdot h)1_{\|h\| < 1}\right)K(x,h) dh, $$ where…

Let $L$ be the operator defined on $C^2$ functions by $$L f(x)=\int[f(x+h)-f(x)-1_{(|h|\leq 1)}\nabla f(x)\cdot h]\frac{n(x,h)}{|h|^{d+\alpha(x)}}dh.$$ This is an operator of variable order and the corresponding process is of pure jump…

In this paper, we provide the sufficient and necessary conditions for the symmetry of the following stable L\'evy-type operator $\mathcal{L}$ on $\mathbb{R}$: $$\mathcal{L}=a(x){\Delta^{\alpha/2}}+b(x)\frac{\d}{\d x},$$ where $a,b$ are the…

Suppose that $d\geq1$ and $\alpha\in (1, 2)$. Let $Y$ be a rotationally symmetric $\alpha$-stable process on $\R^d$ and $b$ a $\R^d$-valued measurable function on $\R^d$ belonging to a certain Kato class of $Y$. We show that $\rd X^b_t=\rd…

We show the existence of L\'evy-type stochastic processes in one space dimension with characteristic triplets that are either discontinuous at thresholds, or are stable-like with stability index functions for which the closures of the…

Additive processes are obtained from L\'{e}vy ones by relaxing the condition of stationary increments, hence they are spatially (but not temporally) homogeneous. By analogy with the case of time-homogeneous Markov processes, one can define…
