Dirichlet forms for general Wentzell boundary conditions, analytic semigroups, and cosine operator functions.
Let be a locally compact group and a compact subgroup such that the algebra of biinvariant integrable functions is commutative. We characterize the -invariant Dirichlet forms on the homogeneous space using harmonic analysis of . This extends results from Ch. Berg, Séminaire Brelot-Choquet-Deny, Paris, 13e année 1969/70 and J. Deny, Potential theory (C.I.M.E., I ciclo, Stresa), Ed. Cremonese, Rome, 1970. Every non-zero -invariant Dirichlet form on a symmetric space of non compact type...
In [23] M. Pierre introduced parabolic Dirichlet spaces. Such spaces are obtained by considering certain families of Dirichlet forms. He developed a rather far-reaching and general potential theory for these spaces. In particular, he introduced associated capacities and investigated the notion of related quasi-continuous functions. However, the only examples given by M. Pierre in [23] (see also [22]) are Dirichlet forms arising from strongly parabolic differential operators of second order. To...
Mathematics Subject Classification: 26A33, 31C25, 35S99, 47D07.Wentzell boundary value problem for pseudo-differential operators generating Markov processes but not satisfying the transmission condition are not well understood. Studying fractional derivatives and fractional powers of such operators gives some insights in this problem. Since an L^p – theory for such operators will provide a helpful tool we investigate the L^p –domains of certain model operators.* This work is partially supported...
We prove a Hardy inequality for the fractional Laplacian on the interval with the optimal constant and additional lower order term. As a consequence, we also obtain a fractional Hardy inequality with the best constant and an extra lower order term for general domains, following the method of M. Loss and C. Sloane [J. Funct. Anal. 259 (2010)].
We prove a fractional version of the Hardy-Sobolev-Maz’ya inequality for arbitrary domains and norms with p ≥ 2. This inequality combines the fractional Sobolev and the fractional Hardy inequality into a single inequality, while keeping the sharp constant in the Hardy inequality.
We prove for a large class of symmetric pseudo differential operators that they generate a Feller semigroup and therefore a Dirichlet form. Our construction uses the Yoshida-Hille-Ray Theorem and a priori estimates in anisotropic Sobolev spaces. Using these a priori estimates it is possible to obtain further information about the stochastic process associated with the Dirichlet form under consideration.
This work is concerned with the existence and regularity of solutions to the Neumann problem associated with a Ornstein–Uhlenbeck operator on a bounded and smooth convex set K of a Hilbert space H. This problem is related to the reflection problem associated with a stochastic differential equation in K.
