Infinitesimal generators of random evolutions
Consider two state spaces $X$ and $Y$ and infinitesimal generators of Markov processes $(A_y)_{y\in Y}$ and $B$, on $X$ and $Y$ respectively. We assume that $A_y$ share the same domain $D(A)$, and ...

A few questions on Feller processes
Update. Most of my questions have been answered in the comments. I am adding these answers to the post.
There are at least three definitions of Feller semigroup and the corresponding processes: $C_0 \...

If $(\kappa_t)_{t\ge0}$ is a Markov semigroup with invariant measure $μ$, under which assumption is $t\mapsto\kappa_tf$ measurable for $f\in L^p(μ)$?
Let
$(E,\mathcal E)$ be a measurable space;
$(\kappa_t)_{t\ge0}$ be a Markov semigroup on $(E,\mathcal E)$;
$\mu$ be a finite measure on $(E,\mathcal E)$ which is subinvariant with respect to $(\...

Is a linear combination of Markov generator a Markov generator?
Let $X$ be a compact metric set and $\mathcal{C}(X)$ be the set on continuous real functions over $X$ endowed with the supremum norm $\|\cdot\|_{\infty}$. Let $\Omega_1$ and $\Omega_2$ be two Markov ...

How does one define the gradient of a Markov semigroup?
In the context of functional inequalities for Markov semigroups $(\mathcal P_t)_{t\ge0}$, what is one denoting by $\nabla\mathcal P_tf$? For example, I've found the following assumption in this paper:
...

How can we treat the generator of a discrete-time Markov chain as the generator of a Markov-jump process?
In the popular paper Weak Convergence and Optimal Scaling of Random Walk Metropolis Algorithms by Roberts, Gelman and Gilks, the authors state (see below) that "in the Skorokhod topology, it does not ...

Markov chain with Feller property
Does anybody know whether there is an analysis of when the monotone decreasing chain has the Feller property?
The monotone decreasing is defined as a chain on $\mathbb{N}$ and the rate of going down $...
