Abstract

In this paper, we consider the following type of non-local (pseudodifferential) operators £ on ℝd: Equation Presented where A(x) = (aij(x))i<i;j<d is a measurable dxd matrix-valued function on ℝd that is uniformly elliptic and bounded and J is a symmetric measurable non-trivial non-negative kernel on ℝd x ℝd satisfying certain conditions. Corresponding to £ is a symmetric strong Markov process X on ℝd that has both the diffusion component and pure jump component. We establish a priori Holder estimate for bounded parabolic functions of C and parabolic Harnack principle for positive parabolic functions of C. Moreover, two-sided sharp heat kernel estimates are derived for such operator £ and jump-diffusion X. In particular, our results apply to the mixture of symmetric diffusion of uniformly elliptic divergence form operator and mixed stable-like processes on ℝd. To establish these results, we employ methods from both probability theory and analysis.
