We give an analytic version of the well known Shih's theorem concerning the Markov processes whose hitting distributions are dominated by those of a given process. The treatment is purely analytic, completely different from Shih's arguments and improves essentially his result (in the case when the given processes are transient
The -cone is an abstract model for the cone of positive superharmonic functions on a harmonic space or for the cone of excessive functions with respect to a resolvent family, having sufficiently many properties in order to develop a good deal of balayage theory and also to construct a dual concept which is also an -cone. There are given an integral representation theorem and a representation theorem as an -cone of functions for which fine topology, thinnes, negligible sets and the sheaf property...
