The vanishing-shift limit of the discounted exit average #
Let Q be the continuous-path process of a conservative Feller kernel semigroup, let U be an
open set with exit time tau, and let psi be a bounded measurable function. The discounted
exit average at the shift lam is
E_y[1_{tau < infinity} e^{-lam tau} psi(X_tau)] (discountedExitAverage),
the quantity produced by the resolvent decomposition at the first exit from U. This file
proves the two facts that turn such a family of identities into the exit mean-value property of
StoppedDirichletHarmonic.lean.
- As the shift decreases to zero the discount disappears
(
tendsto_discountedExitAverage_nhdsGT_zero): the integrands converge pointwise and are bounded by a constant, so dominated convergence applies alongnhdsWithin 0 (Ioi 0). - Consequently, if for every small positive shift the discounted exit average is the difference
of
psiand some value at the starting point, and those values converge as the shift decreases to zero, then the limit function is represented by the exit distribution (hasExitMeanValueOn_of_tendsto_discountedExitAverage). Only two facts about the process enter: the exit position lies outsideU, and the exit time is almost surely finite, which is where the finiteness of the expected exit time is consumed.
A third, unrelated, stability fact is recorded: the exit mean-value property passes to uniform
limits (hasExitMeanValueOn_of_forall_approx), because the exit distribution is a subprobability
law. This is what a density argument in the boundary data consumes.
Nothing here refers to a generator, and nothing here is specific to the divergence-form setting.

The discount disappears as the shift decreases to zero. The discounted exit averages
converge to the undiscounted average over the paths that leave U.
From a starting point of U with a finite expected exit time, the path leaves U almost
surely and its exit position lies outside U.
The exit mean-value property from a vanishing-shift limit. Suppose that for every small
positive shift the discounted exit average of psi is the value of psi at the starting point
less a correction, and that the corrected values converge to h as the shift decreases to zero.
Then h, which agrees with psi off U, is represented by the exit distribution of U.
The exit mean-value property passes to uniform limits. A uniform limit of bounded measurable functions represented by the exit distribution is itself represented by it.
