Summary
Let A be the operator defined on C 2 functions by
Sufficient conditions are given for existence and uniqueness for the martingale problem associated with A. In the case of stable-like processes, where v(x, dh) is equal to the Lévy measure for the stable symmetric process of index α(x) for each x, the conditions reduce to α(x) continuous for existence and α(x) Dini continuous for uniqueness.
