In order to treat certain "non-symmetric" potential theories, It6 I-4] and Bliedtner [1] have generalized Beurling and Deny's theory of Dirichlet spaces by replacing the inner product in the Dirichlet space with a bilinear form defined on a real, regular functional space. This bilinear form, called a Dirichlet form, is supposed to be continuous and coercive, and furthermore to satisfy a "contra...
