In the present paper we prove estimates on {subsolutions of the equation $-Av+c(x)v=0$}, $x\in D$, where $D\subset \bbR^d$ is a domain (i.e. an open and connected set) and $A$ is an integro-differential operator of the Waldenfels type,…
We obtain Liouville type theorems for degenerate elliptic equation with a drift term and a potential. The diffusion is driven by H\"ormander operators. We show that the conditions imposed on the coefficients of the operator are optimal.…
