Viscosity methods giving uniqueness for martingale problems
  Let $E$ be a complete, separable metric space and $A$ be an operator on $C_b(E)$. We give an abstract definition of viscosity sub/supersolution of the resolvent equation $\lambda u-Au=h$ and show that, if the comparison principle holds, then the martingale problem for $A$ has a unique solution. Our proofs work also under two alternative definitions of viscosity sub/supersolution which might be useful, in particular, in infinite dimensional spaces, for instance to study measure-valued processes.   We prove the analogous result for stochastic processes that must satisfy boundary conditions, modeled as solutions of constrained martingale problems. In the case of reflecting diffusions in $D\subset {\bf R}^d$, our assumptions allow $ D$ to be nonsmooth and the direction of reflection to be degenerate.   Two examples are presented: A diffusion with degenerate oblique direction of reflection and a class of jump diffusion processes with infinite variation jump component and possibly degenerate diffusion matrix.
