Substochastic semigroups and densities of piecewise deterministic Markov processes
Abstract
Description
Necessary and sufficient conditions are given for a substochastic semigroup on $L^1$ obtained through the Kato--Voigt perturbation theorem to be either stochastic or strongly stable. We show how such semigroups are related to piecewise deterministic Markov process, provide a probabilistic interpretation of our results, and apply them to fragmentation equations.
