Generator of sub-Markov semigroup induces generator of Markov semigroup
I have to show that for the generator $A:L^1 \rightarrow L^1$ of a sub-Markov semigroup and a non-negative $f_* \in L^1$ (with $L^1$ Set of Lebesgue-integrable functions) with $\int_{-\infty}^\infty ...

Reference needed for powers of semi-group generators
Let $\mathcal{L}$ be the infinitesimal generator of a Markov semi-group. I am looking for references that study powers of $\mathcal{L}$; i.e. $\mathcal{L}^n$, for $n\in\mathbb{N}$.
For example, if the ...

A few questions on Feller processes
Update. Most of my questions have been answered in the comments. I am adding these answers to the post.
There are at least three definitions of Feller semigroup and the corresponding processes: $C_0 \...

If $(\kappa_t)_{t\ge0}$ is a Markov semigroup with invariant measure $μ$, under which assumption is $t\mapsto\kappa_tf$ measurable for $f\in L^p(μ)$?
Let
$(E,\mathcal E)$ be a measurable space;

If $X$ is a Markov process, can we find a mild assumption ensuring that $\frac1t\operatorname E_x\left[\int_0^tc(X_s)\:{\rm d}s\right]\to c(x)$?
Let
$(E,\mathcal E)$ be a measurable space with $\{x\}\in\mathcal E$ for all $x\in E$
$\mathcal E_b:=\{f:E\to\mathbb R\mid f\text{ is bounded and }\mathcal E\text{-measurable}\}$
$(\kappa_t)_{t\ge0}$ ...

Methods to find the spectrum of an operator
Suppose we have a bounded, self-adjoint operator $T$ on a set of functions $\mathcal{F}$. What kinds of methods are there to find the spectrum of $T$?
Here is the setting I'm wondering about: consider ...

Is a linear combination of Markov generator a Markov generator?
Let $X$ be a compact metric set and $\mathcal{C}(X)$ be the set on continuous real functions over $X$ endowed with the supremum norm $\|\cdot\|_{\infty}$. Let $\Omega_1$ and $\Omega_2$ be two Markov ...

How does one define the gradient of a Markov semigroup?
In the context of functional inequalities for Markov semigroups $(\mathcal P_t)_{t\ge0}$, what is one denoting by $\nabla\mathcal P_tf$? For example, I've found the following assumption in this paper:

How can we treat the generator of a discrete-time Markov chain as the generator of a Markov-jump process?
In the popular paper Weak Convergence and Optimal Scaling of Random Walk Metropolis Algorithms by Roberts, Gelman and Gilks, the authors state (see below) that "in the Skorokhod topology, it does not ...

Markov-semigroup Sobolev inequality
I have a question about the following definition:
A probability measure $\mu$, such that the Markov semigroup $e^{Lt} \in \mathcal{L}(L^2)$ exists and is symmetric, satisfies the Sobolev inequality ...
