Potentials of a Markov process are expected suprema

Hans Föllmer, Thomas Knispel (2007)

ESAIM: Probability and Statistics

Similarity:

Expected suprema of a function  observed along the paths of a nice Markov process define an excessive function, and in fact a potential if  vanishes at the boundary. Conversely, we show under mild regularity conditions that any potential admits a representation in terms of expected suprema. Moreover, we identify the maximal and the minimal representing function in terms of probabilistic potential theory. Our results are motivated by the work of El Karoui and Meziou (2006) on the max-plus...

Forward-backward stochastic differential equations and PDE with gradient dependent second order coefficients

Romain Abraham, Olivier Riviere (2006)

ESAIM: Probability and Statistics

Similarity:

We consider a system of fully coupled forward-backward stochastic differential equations. First we generalize the results of Pardoux-Tang [7] concerning the regularity of the solutions with respect to initial conditions. Then, we prove that in some particular cases this system leads to a probabilistic representation of solutions of a second-order PDE whose second order coefficients depend on the gradient of the solution. We then give some examples in dimension 1 and dimension 2 for...
