Let $I$ be a compact interval, say $I:=(0,1)$, and $k\in L^\infty(I\times I)$ a symmetric Markov kernel, i.e. $k(x,y)=k(y,x)$ and $$\int_I k(x,y) d y = 1\qquad\mbox{for almost all } x\in I.$$ Let $K:L^...

Suppose we have a bounded, self-adjoint operator $T$ on a set of functions $\mathcal{F}$. What kinds of methods are there to find the spectrum of $T$? Here is the setting I'm wondering about: consider ...

Let $P$ be a Markov kernel on a measurable space $(E,\mathcal E)$ admitting an invariant probability measure $\pi$. $P$ acts on $L^2(\pi)$ via $$Pf:=\int\kappa(\;\cdot\;{\rm d}y)f(y).$$ The invariance ...

Let $E$ be a locally compact separable metric space $(\mathcal D(A),A)$ be the generator of a strongly continuous contraction semigroup on $C_0(E)$ $E_n$ be a metric space for $n\in\mathbb N$ $(\...
