Perturbations of Functional Inequalities for L\'evy Type Dirichlet Forms

Abstract

Perturbations of super Poincar\'e and weak Poincar\'e inequalities for L\'evy type Dirichlet forms are studied. When the range of jumps is finite our results are natural extensions to the corresponding ones derived earlier for diffusion processes; and we show that the study for the situation with infinite range of jumps is essentially different. Some examples are presented to illustrate the optimality of our results.
