Diffusion coefficients corresponding to non-degenerate directions of the noise are assumed to be continuous. When the diffusion part is constant we recover the classical degenerate Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process which only has to satisfy the H\\\"ormander hypoellipticity condition. In the proof we use global $L^p$-estimates for hypoelliptic Ornstein-Uhlenbeck operators recently proved in Bramanti-Cupini-Lanconelli-Priola (Math. Z. 266 (2010)) and adapt the localization procedure introduced by Stroock and Varadhan. Appendix contains a quite general localization principle for martingale problems.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2013-06-18T17:20:20.000Z", "comment": "Typos have been fixed; more details have been added", "journal": null, "doi": null }, { "version": "v3", "updated": "2014-09-02T15:45:16.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "degenerate sdes", "weak uniqueness", "quite general localization principle", "hypoelliptic ornstein-uhlenbeck operators", "classical degenerate ornstein-uhlenbeck process" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2013arXiv1305.7174P" } } }
