The aim of this work is twofold. On one hand, we study the unique solvability of the Cauchy problem corresponding to $L$. On the other hand, we study the martingale problem for $L$. The analytic results obtained for the deterministic parabolic equation guarantee that the martingale problem is well-posed. Our strategy follows the classical path of Stroock-Varadhan. The assumptions allow for cases that have not been dealt with so far.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2006-10-14T17:33:38.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "47G20", "47G30", "60J75", "60J35", "60G07", "35K99", "35B65", "47A60" ], "keywords": [ "martingale problem", "cauchy problem", "non-smooth kernels", "deterministic parabolic equation guarantee", "linear integro-differential operator" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2006math.....10445K" } } }
