Abstract

In this paper we continue the study of a sequence of positive linear operators which we have introduced in [9] and which are associated with a continuous selection of Borel measures on the unit interval. We show that the iterates of these operators converge to a Markov semigroup whose generator is a degenerate second-order elliptic differential operator on the unit interval. Some qualitative properties of the semigroup, or equivalently, of the solutions of the corresponding degenerate evolution problems, are also investigated.
