Stochastic processes associated to multidimensional parabolic transmission problems in divergence form

Abstract

In this note we define and study the stochastic process $X$ in link with a parabolic transmission operator $(A,D(A))$ in divergence form. The transmission operator involves a diffraction condition along a transmission boundary. To that aim we gather and clarify some results coming from the theory of Dirichlet forms as exposed in [6] and [14] for general divergence form operators. We show that $X$ is a semimartingale and that it is solution of a stochastic differential equation involving partial reflections in the co-normal directions along the transmission boundary.
