For $d \ge 2$, $\alpha \in (0,2)$ and $M > 0$, we consider the gradient perturbation of a family of nonlocal operators $\{\Delta+a^\alpha\Delta^{\alpha/2}, a\in (0,M]\}$. We establish the existence and uniqueness of the fundamental solution…
We establish global two-sided heat kernel estimates (for full time and space) of the Schr\"odinger operator $-\frac{1}{2}\Delta+V$ on $\R^d$, where the potential $V(x)$ is locally bounded and behaves like $c|x|^{-\alpha}$ near infinity with…
We present a method for estimating the edge of a two-dimensional bounded set, given a finite random set of points drawn from the interior. The estimator is based both on a Parzen-Rosenblatt kernel and extreme values of point processes. We…
A multi cone domain $\Omega \subseteq \mathbb{R}^n$ is an open, connected set that resembles a finite collection of cones far away from the origin. We study the rate of decay in time of the heat kernel $p(t,x,y)$ of a Brownian motion killed…
In this paper, we employ probabilistic techniques to derive sharp, explicit two-sided estimates for the heat kernel of the nonlocal kinetic operator $$ \Delta^{\alpha/2}_v + v \cdot \nabla_x, \quad \alpha \in (0, 2),\ (x,v)\in {\mathbb…
For $d\ge 2$ and $0<\beta<\alpha<2$, consider a family of non-local operators $\mathcal{L}^{b}=\Delta^{\alpha/2}+\mathcal{S}^{b}$ on $\mathbb{R}^d$, where $$ \mathcal{S}^{b}f(x):=\lim_{\varepsilon\to 0}\mathcal{A}(d,-\beta)\int_{ \{z\in…
For $d\geq 2$, we establish the existence and uniqueness of heat kernels for a large class of time-dependent second order diffusion operator with jumps, which is the sum of time-dependent of a second order elliptic differential operators…
Dunkl processes are multidimensional Markov processes defined through the use of Dunkl operators. These processes have discontinuities, and they can be separated into their continuous (radial) part, and their discontinuous (jump) part.…
Up to now, the nonparametric analysis of multidimensional continuous-time Markov processes has focussed strongly on specific model choices, mostly related to symmetry of the semigroup. While this approach allows to study the performance of…
In this paper, we study the Schr\"odinger operator $\Delta-V$, where $V$ is a supercritical non-negative potential belonging to a large class of functions containing functions of the form $b|x|^{-(2+2\beta)}$, $b, \beta>0$. We obtain…
We investigate densities of vaguely continuous convolution semigroups of probability measures on $\mathbb{R}^d$. First, we provide results that give upper estimates in a situation when the corresponding jump measure is allowed to be highly…
In this paper, we study the spectral heat content for isotropic stable processes on fractal drums (namely, open sets with fractal boundaries). The spectral heat content for subordinate killed Brownian motions by stable subordinators was…
We give matching upper and lower bounds for the Dirichlet heat kernel of a Schr\"odinger operator $\Delta+W$ in the domain above the graph of a bounded Lipschitz function, in the case when $W$ decays away from the boundary faster than…
In this paper, we consider the following symmetric Dirichlet forms on a metric measure space $(M,d,\mu)$: $$\mathcal{E}(f,g) = \mathcal{E}(^{(c)}(f,g)+\int_{M\times M} (f(x)-f(y))(g(x)-g(y))\,J(dx,dy),$$ where $\mathcal{E}(^{(c)}$ is a…
We consider a heat kernel approach for the development of stochastic pricing kernels. The kernels are constructed by positive propagators, which are driven by time-inhomogeneous Markov processes. We multiply such a propagator with a…
For a wide class of continuous-time Markov processes, including all irreducible hypoelliptic diffusions evolving on an open, connected subset of $\RL^d$, the following are shown to be equivalent: (i) The process satisfies (a slightly weaker…
Markov chain approximations of symmetric jump processes are investigated. Tightness results and a central limit theorem are established. Moreover, given the generator of a symmetric jump process with state space $\mathbbm{R}^d$ the…
In this paper, we consider symmetric $\alpha$-stable processes on (unbounded) horn-shaped regions which are non-uniformly $C^{1,1}$ near infinity. By using probabilistic approaches extensively, we establish two-sided Dirichlet heat…
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…
It is well known that Nash-type inequalities for symmetric Dirichlet forms are equivalent to on-diagonal heat kernel upper bounds for the associated symmetric Markov semigroups. In this paper, we show that both imply (and hence are…
