We develop a Widder-type theory for nonlocal heat equations involving quite general L\'evy operators. Thus, we consider nonnegative solutions and look for conditions on the operator that ensure: (i) uniqueness of nonnegative classical and…
We develop weak and strong maximum principles for boundary-degenerate, linear, parabolic, second-order partial differential operators, $Lu := -u_t-\tr(aD^2u)-\langle b, Du\rangle + cu$, with \emph{partial} Dirichlet boundary conditions. The…
The paper concerns the necessary maximum principle for robust optimal control problems of quadratic BSDEs. The coefficient of the systems depends on the parameter $\theta$, and the generator of BSDEs is of quadratic growth in $z$. Since the…
We obtain the comparison principle for discontinuous viscosity sub- and supersolutions of nonlocal Hamilton-Jacobi equations, with superlinear and coercive gradient terms. The nonlocal terms are integro-differential operators in L\'evy…

In this paper we show how questions about operator algebras constructed from stochastic matrices motivate new results in the study of harmonic functions on Markov chains. More precisely, we characterize coincidence of conditional…
We consider the stochastic optimal control problem for the dynamical system of the stochastic differential equation driven by a local martingale with a spatial parameter. Assuming the convexity of the control domain, we obtain the…
We develop a general construction for nonlinear L\'evy processes with given characteristics. More precisely, given a set $\Theta$ of L\'evy triplets, we construct a sublinear expectation on Skorohod space under which the canonical process…
The aim of this paper is to introduce new forms of the weak and Omori-Yau maximum principles for linear operators, notably for trace type operators, and show their usefulness, for instance, in the context of PDE's and in the theory of…
Previous authors have considered optimal stopping problems driven by the running maximum of a spectrally negative L\'evy process $X$, as well as of a one-dimensional diffusion. Many of the aforementioned results are either implicitly or…
We investigate the qualitative properties of positive solutions to mixed local-nonlocal equations with indefinite nonlinearities, emphasizing the interaction between classical and fractional Laplacians. We first establish maximum principles…
This is the first of two articles dealing with the equation $(-\Delta)^{s} v= f(v)$ in $\mathbb{R}^{n}$, with $s\in (0,1)$, where $(-\Delta)^{s}$ stands for the fractional Laplacian ---the infinitesimal generator of a L\'evy process. This…
Developments of nonlocal operators for modeling processes that traditionally have been described by local differential operators have been increasingly active during the last few years. One example is peridynamics for brittle materials and…
We study a nonlinear coupled system of partial differential equations arising from thermo--reaction--phase models. The system combines a heat diffusion equation, temperature-dependent chemical reactions of Arrhenius type, and a phase…
We analyze the problem of stochastic optimal control of SDEs where the driver includes a self-exciting stochastic process. Due to the non-Markovian nature of the problem, we apply the stochastic maximum principle approach. We derive a…
This paper investigates the optimal control problem for a class of parabolic equations where the diffusion coefficient is influenced by a control function acting nonlocally. Specifically, we consider the optimization of a cost functional…
We study parabolic equations governed by integro-differential operators with nonlocal components in some directions and local components in the remaining directions. The setting contains the purely nonlocal, as well as the purely local…
In this paper we prove a strong maximum principle for certain parabolic systems of equations. In particular, our methods place no restriction on the regularity of the boundary of the convex set in which the system takes its values, and…
In this article a class of additive invariant positive selfadjoint pseudodifferential unbounded operators on $L^{2}(\mathbb{A}_{f})$, where $\mathbb{A}_{f}$ is the ring of finite ad\'eles of the rational numbers, is considered to state a…
This is a study of a class of nonlocal nonlinear diffusion equations. We present a strong maximum principle for nonlocal time-dependent Dirichlet problems. Results are for bounded functions of space, rather than (semi)-continuous functions.…
