Abstract:We consider the operator

begin{displaymath}sum_{i,j=1}^d sqrt{x_ix_j}gamma_{ij}(x) frac{partial^2}... ...partial x_j}+sum_{i=1}^d b_i(x) frac{partial}{partial x_i}end{displaymath}

acting on functions in $C_b^2(mathbb{R}^d_+)$. We prove uniqueness of the martingale problem for this degenerate operator under suitable nonnegativity and regularity conditions on $gamma_{ij}$ and $b_i$. In contrast to previous work, the $b_i$ need only be nonnegative on the boundary rather than strictly positive, at the expense of the $gamma_{ij}$and $b_i$ 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.
