For this purpose, we formulate the problem in terms of a Skorokhod-space martingale problem associated with non-local operators with discontinuous coefficients. These operators are approximated along a sequence of smooth non-local operators giving rise to Feller processes with uniformly controlled symbols. They converge uniformly outside of increasingly smaller neighborhoods of a Lebesgue nullset on which the singularities of the limit operator are located.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2012-08-08T13:50:35.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "60J25", "60H10", "60J75", "60G46", "60G52", "47G30" ], "keywords": [ "stochastic differential equations driven", "martingale problem", "discontinuous coefficients", "lévy processes", "lévy-type operators" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2012arXiv1208.1665I" } } }
