Abstract

We demonstrate the existence, uniqueness and Galerkin approximatation of linear ultraparabolic terminal value/infinite-horizon problems on unbounded spatial domains. Furthermore, we provide a probabilistic interpretation of the solution in terms of the expectation of an associated ultradiffusion process.

Highlights

  • The connection between parabolic equations and diffusion processes is well understood; the same cannot be said for ultraparabolic equations and ultradiffusion processes

  • We extend here the results of [5] to linear ultraparabolic terminal value/infinite-horizon temporal problems posed on unbounded spatial domains

  • We provide a probabilistic interpretation of the solution in terms of the expectation of an associated ultradiffusion process

Summary

Introduction

The connection between parabolic equations and diffusion processes is well understood; the same cannot be said for ultraparabolic equations and ultradiffusion processes. Theoretical results have been fairly limited relative to the existence and uniqueness of solutions to ultraparabolic equations, deriving from two methodologies. The analysis is affected along the characteristic of the first-order temporal operator, requiring that the speed of propagation varies only spatially. Such an approach was developed by Piskunov [1] in the classical case and extended by Lions [2] to the generalized sense. We extend here the results of [5] to linear ultraparabolic terminal value/infinite-horizon temporal problems posed on unbounded spatial domains.
