Semigroup property in SPDEs
In fact, we know that a bounded linear operators on a Banach space $X$ satisfies the semigroup property, i.e. $$S(t+s)=S(t)S(s), \text{for every}\ t,s\geq 0.$$
However, in various literatures, I ...

Algebra core for generator of Dirichlet form
This is a question about the existence of a core $C$ for the generator $A$ of a regular Dirichlet form $\mathcal{E}$ having a carré du champ $\Gamma$, so that $C$ is an algebra with respect to ...

Is there a way to detect instantaneous states of a Feller Process from its infinitesimal generator?
I’m working with generators of Feller processes. If $C(E)$ is the space of continuous functions over $E$; with $E$ a compact metric space, I proved that an operator $G$ over $C(E)$ is the ...

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:
...

Bounded-pointwise continuity of Markov operators / semigroups
Let $B_b(E)$ be the space of bounded measurable functions on some Polish space $E$ endowed with the supremum norm. It seems quite classical that Markov semigroups $P_t:B_b(E)\to B_b(E)$ are in one to ...

Compactness of semigroups of one-dimensional diffusions
I have a question about semigroups of one-dimensional diffusions.
Let $X$ be the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process on $\mathbb{R}$. The generator is expresses as
$$\frac{d^2}{dx^2}-x\frac{d}{dx}.$$
It is ...

Strong continuity of the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck operator
It's well known that the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck semigroup defined by
$$
P_tf(x)=\int_{\mathbb{R}}f\left(xe^{-t}+\sqrt{1-e^{-2t}}z\right)\frac{e^{-z^2/2}}{\sqrt{2\pi}}\,dz
$$
is not strongly continuous on ...

About the convergence rate for an approximation to the heat kernel
Let $G(t,x)$ be the heat kernel
$$
G(t,x)=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2\pi t}}e^{-\frac{x^2}{2t}}, \quad t>0, \:x\in\mathbb{R}.
$$
Here is one approximation to $G(t,x)$:
$$
G_\epsilon(t,x)=e^{-t/\epsilon} \...
