Feller process
Let be a LCCB space (locally compact with a countable base; usually a subset of for some ) and be the space of continuous functions on that vanish at infinity. (We may write as shorthand.) A Feller semigroup on is a family of positive
linear operators , on such that
- •
and for every , i.e. is a family of contracting maps;
- •
(the semigroup property);
- •
for every .
A probability transition function associated with a Feller semigroup is called a Feller transition function. A Markov process having a Feller transition function is called a Feller process.
