Extract

Let Λ = R1 × {1, 2, ···, N} denote N copies of the real line and ξ(t) = (X(t), α(t))be a right-continuous Markov process taking values in A having transition function of the form P(t, (x, α), A × {β}) = Fαβ(t, Ax). Fukushima and Hitsuda [2] have found the most general such transition function; the (matrix) logarithm of its characteristic function is decomposed into a Lévy-Khintchine integral on the diagonal and multiples of characteristic functions off the diagonal.
