Stochastic functional differential equations driven by L\'{e}vy processes and quasi-linear partial integro-differential equations
Abstract
In this article we study a class of stochastic functional differential equations driven by L\'{e}vy processes (in particular, -stable processes), and obtain the existence and uniqueness of Markov solutions in small time intervals. This corresponds to the local solvability to a class of quasi-linear partial integro-differential equations. Moreover, in the constant diffusion coefficient case, without any assumptions on the L\'{e}vy generator, we also show the existence of a unique maximal weak solution for a class of semi-linear partial integro-differential equation systems under bounded Lipschitz assumptions on the coefficients. Meanwhile, in the nondegenerate case (corresponding to with ), based upon some gradient estimates, the existence of global solutions is established too. In particular, this provides a probabilistic treatment for the nonlinear partial integro-differential equations, such as the multi-dimensional fractal Burgers equations and the fractal scalar conservation law equations.
