We consider a stochastic delay differential equation driven by a general Levy process. Both, the drift and the noise term may depend on the past, but only the drift term is assumed to be linear. We show that the segment process is…
In this work, we show that for the martingale problem for a class of degenerate diffusions with bounded continuous drift and diffusion coefficients, the small noise limit of non-degenerate approximations leads to a unique Feller limit. The…
Suppose that a real valued process X is given as a solution to a stochastic differential equation. Then, for any twice continuously differentiable function f, the backward Kolmogorov equation gives a condition for f(t,X) to be a local…
This paper is devoted to the study of a certain type of martingale problems associated to general operators corresponding to processes which have finite lifetime. We analyse several properties and in particular the weak convergence of…
We establish existence and uniqueness for the martingale problem associated with a system of degenerate SDE's representing a catalytic branching network. For example, in the hypercyclic case:…
In this paper, we study weak and strong transience of a class of Feller processes associated with pseudo-differential operators, the so-called L\'evy-type processes. As a main result, we derive Chung-Fuchs type conditions (in terms of the…
We show that the SDE $dX_t = \sigma(X_{t-}) \, dL_t$, $X_0 \sim \mu$ driven by a one-dimensional symnmetric $\alpha$-stable L\'evy process $(L_t)_{t \geq 0}$, $\alpha \in (0,2]$, has a unique weak solution for any continuous function…
We identify the stochastic processes associated with one-sided fractional partial differential equations on a bounded domain with various boundary conditions. This is essential for modelling using spatial fractional derivatives. We show…
The dynamics of a Markov process are often specified by its infinitesimal generator or, equivalently, its symbol. This paper contains examples of analytic symbols which do not determine the law of the corresponding Markov process uniquely.…
A stable-like process is a Feller process $(X_t)_{t\geq 0}$ taking values in $\mathbb{R}^d$ and whose generator behaves, locally, like an $\alpha$-stable L\'evy process, but the index $\alpha$ and all other characteristics may depend on the…
We use the abstract method of (local) martingale problems in order to give criteria for convergence of stochastic processes. Extending previous notions, the formulation we use is neither restricted to Markov processes (or semimartingales),…
In this paper we introduce the concept of conic martingales}. This class refers to stochastic processes having the martingale property, but that evolve within given (possibly time-dependent) boundaries. We first review some results about…
Consider the following time-dependent stable-like operator with drift $$ \mathscr{L}_t\varphi(x)=\int_{\mathbb{R}^d}\big[\varphi(x+z)-\varphi(x)-z^{(\alpha)}\cdot\nabla\varphi(x)\big]\sigma(t,x,z)\nu_\alpha(d z)+b(t,x)\cdot\nabla…
Using results from our companion article [arXiv:1112.4824v2] on a Schauder approach to existence of solutions to a degenerate-parabolic partial differential equation, we solve three intertwined problems, motivated by probability theory and…
We introduce and discuss L\'evy-type cylindrical martingale problems on separable reflexive Banach spaces. Our main observations are the following: Cylindrical martingale problems have a one-to-one relation to weak solutions of stochastic…
In this paper, we prove the existence and uniqueness of the solution to reflected backward doubly stochastic differential equations driven by Teugels martingales associated with a L\'evy process where the barrier process is not necessarily…
The probabilistic symbol is the right-hand side derivative of the characteristic functions corresponding to the one-dimensional marginals of a stochastic process. This object, as long as the derivative exists, provides crucial information…
We consider the stochastic differential equation $dX_t = A(X_{t-}) \, dZ_t$, $ X_0 = x$, driven by cylindrical $\alpha$-stable process $Z_t$ in $R^d$, where $\alpha \in (0,1)$ and $d \ge 2$. We assume that the determinant of $A(x) =…
For a real-valued one dimensional diffusive strict local martingale,, we provide a set of smooth functions in which the Cauchy problem has a unique classical solution under a local H\"older condition. Under the weaker Engelbert-Schmidt…
In this paper we study the domain of stable processes, stable-like processes and more general pseudo- and integro-differential operators which naturally arise both in analysis and as infinitesimal generators of L\'evy- and L\'evy-type…
