In this paper, we establish a uniform boundary Harnack principle (BHP) with explicit boundary decay rate for nonnegative functions which are harmonic with respect to $\\Delta +b \\Delta^{\\alpha/2}$ (or equivalently, the sum of a Brownian motion and an independent symmetric $\\alpha$-stable process with constant multiple $b^{1/\\alpha}$) in $C^{1, 1}$ open sets. Here a \"uniform\" BHP means that the comparing constant in the BHP is independent of $b\\in [0, 1]$. Along the way, a uniform Carleson type estimate is established for nonnegative functions which are harmonic with respect to $\\Delta + b \\Delta^{\\alpha/2}$ in Lipschitz open sets. Our method employs a combination of probabilistic and analytic techniques.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2009-11-10T19:05:17.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "31B25", "60J45" ], "keywords": [ "explicit boundary decay rate", "uniform boundary harnack principle", "uniform carleson type estimate", "nonnegative functions", "pseudo differential operators" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 36, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2009arXiv0908.1559C" } } }
