HRMs and Strongly Supermedian Kernels
Superposition Operators on Dirichlet Spaces
P.J. Fitzsimmons
In the context of a strongly local Dirichlet form (E,D),
we show that if K : R --> R is a measurable function with K (0)=0
such that K(u) (functional composition) is an element of D
whenever u is an element of D, then K is necessarily locally
Lipschitz continuous. If, in addition, D contains unbounded elements,
then K must be globally Lipschitz continuous. The proofs rely on a
co-area formula for condenser potentials.
