We consider the realization of the operator $L_{\theta, a}u(x)$:$= x^{2 a}u''(x) \ + \ (a x^{2 a - 1} + \theta x^a)u'(x)$, acting on $C[0,+\infty]$, for $\theta\in\R$, $a\in\R$. We show that $L_{\theta, a}$, with the so called Wentzell boundary conditions, generates a Feller semigroup for any $\theta\in\R$, $a\in\R$. The problem of finding optimal estimators for the corresponding diffusion processes is also discussed, in connection with some models in financial mathematics. Here $C[0,+\infty]$ is the space of all real valued continuous functions on $[0,+\infty)$ which admit finite limit at $+\infty$.
