SynopsisDenote by Xt an n-dimensional symmetric Markov process associated with an elliptic operatorwhere (aij) is a bounded measurable uniformly positive definite matrix-valued function of x. Let f(x, t) be a measurable function defined on Rn × [0, 1]. In this paper, we prove that f(Xt, t) is a regular Dirichlet process if and only if the following two conditions are satisfied:(i) For almost every and (ii) Let be a sequence of subdivisions of [0,1] so thatThenAs an application of the above result, we prove the following fact: Let p(y, t) be the probability density of the diffusion process Yt, associated with the elliptic operatorwhere (bi) are bounded measurable functions of x and we suppose that . Then, p(Yt, t) is a regular Dirichlet process and therefore p(.,.) satisfies (i) and (ii).

A widely studied model for generating binary sequences is to ‘evolve’ them on a tree according to a symmetric Markov process. We show that under this model distinguishing the true (model) tree from a false one is substantially ‘easier’ (in terms of the sequence length needed) than determining the true tree. The key tool is a new and near-tight Ramsey-type result for binary trees.
