In this paper we study the potential theory of truncated symmetric stable processes in detail. We prove a Harnack inequality for nonnegative harmonic nonnegative functions these processes. We also establish a boundary Harnack principle for nonnegative functions which are harmonic with respect to these processes in bounded convex domains. We give an example of a non-convex domain for which the boundary Harnack principle fails.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v3", "updated": "2006-09-19T04:11:56.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "60J45" ], "keywords": [ "potential theory", "truncated stable processes", "boundary harnack principle fails", "nonnegative functions", "symmetric levy process" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 35, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2006math......5533K" } } }
