Coupling property and gradient estimates of Lévy processes via the symbol. (English) Zbl 1263.60045
Based on the asymptotic behaviour of the symbol or the characteristic exponent near zero and infinity, respectively, the authors prove two main results: the coupling property for the transition semigroup of a Lévy process and gradient estimates for the associated semigroup of transition operators. Two examples are included to illustrate the optimality and the efficiency of these results.
