dc.descriptionLet $L$ be a second order elliptic operator on $R^d$ with a constant diffusion matrix and a dissipative (in a weak sense) drift $b \in L^p_{loc}$ with some $p>d$. We assume that $L$ possesses a Lyapunov function, but no local boundedness of $b$ is assumed. It is known that then there exists a unique probability measure $μ$ satisfying the equation $L^*μ=0$ and that the closure of $L$ in $L^1(μ)$ generates a Markov semigroup $\{T_t\}_{t\ge 0}$ with the resolvent $\{G_λ\}_{λ> 0}$. We prove that, for any Lipschitzian function $f\in L^1(μ)$ and all $t,λ>0$, the functions $T_tf$ and $G_λf$ are Lipschitzian and |\nabla T_tf(x)| \leq T_t|\nabla f|(x) and |\nabla G_λf(x)| \leq \frac{1}λ G_λ|\nabla f|(x). An analogous result is proved in the parabolic case.
