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 ...

Independence of variables predicted by the generator

Let $X$ be en compact metric set, and denote by $\mathcal{C}(X)$ the set of real continuous functions defined on $X$, endowed with the supremum norm $\|\cdot\|_{\infty}$. Let $\Omega$ be the generator ...

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 ...

Factorization of the Fokker-Planck semigroup

I have posted this question on stackexchange over four month ago, but didn't get an answer: "In the classical theory of Markov processes, the Fokker-Planck semigroup $\{T_t:t\ge 0\}$ can be factored ...

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} \...

How is Kolmogorov forward equation derived from the theory of semigroup of operators?

In Lamperti's Stochastic Processes, given a time-homogeneous Markov process $X(t), t\geq 0$ with Markov transition kernel $p_t(x,E)$ and state space being a measurable space $(S, \mathcal{F})$, a ...

Symmetric Feller processes and Dirichlet forms

Let $(G, \mathcal D)$ be a densely defined operator on $C_0$ (continuous functions vanishing at infinity on some nice topological space) whose closure $\bar G$ generates a Feller semigroup and let $X$ ...

Extending state space to make a process Feller

Let $X$ be a locally compact Hausdorff space, and let $Y_t$ be a continuous Markov process on $X$ with transition function $P(t, x, \Gamma) := \mathbb{P}_x (Y_t \in \Gamma)$. Let $T_t$ be the ...
