Summary on Grant Application Form
For pseudo-differential operators q(x, DX, D Y) = Q(DY) + p(x, DX) considered on Rn x R+ Wentzell boundary valueproblems will be considered in order to construct extensions of - q(x, DX, Dy ) generating Feller or sub-Markoviansemigroups, hence Markov processes (Xt) (t>=0) with state space Rn x R+ . The operator Q(DY)will be either a fractionalderivative of order 1 < alpha < 2, of type f(- partial differential divided by partial differential of y) where f is an appropriate Bernstein function, or Q(eta) will be a more general continuous negative definite function. The operator p(x, Dx) has as symbol such that xi tends towards p(x, xi) is as a negative definite function without quadratic term. The corresponding process will be a jump-type process without diffusion. The difficulty is that almost all classical techniques for solving boundary value problems do not apply in our case as proved before. Fractional calculus and Wiener-Hopf factorisation might work.
