Abstract: | We consider the operator acting on functions in . We prove uniqueness of the martingale problem for this degenerate operator under suitable nonnegativity and regularity conditions on and . In contrast to previous work, the need only be nonnegative on the boundary rather than strictly positive, at the expense of the and being Hölder continuous. Applications to super-Markov chains are given. The proof follows Stroock and Varadhan's perturbation argument, but the underlying function space is now a weighted Hölder space and each component of the constant coefficient process being perturbed is the square of a Bessel process. |
