We construct a probabilistic representation of a system of fully coupled parabolic equations arising as a model describing spatial segregation of interacting population species. We derive a closed system of stochastic equations such that its solution allows to obtain a probabilistic representation of a weak solution of the Cauchy problem for the PDE system. The corresponded stochastic system is presented in the form of a system of stochastic equations describing nonlinear Markov processes and their multiplicative functionals.

This article introduces and solves a general class of fully coupled forward-backward stochastic dynamics by investigating the associated system of functional differential equations. As a consequence, we are able to solve many different types of forward-backward stochastic differential equations (FBSDEs) that do not fit in the classical setting. In our approach, the equations are running in the same time direction rather than in a forward and backward way, and the conflicting nature of the structure of FBSDEs is therefore avoided.
We extend the results of the FBSDE theory in order to construct a probabilistic representation of a viscosity solution to the Cauchy problem for a system of quasilinear parabolic equations. We derive a BSDE associated with a class of quailinear parabolic system and prove the existence and uniqueness of its solution. To be able to deal with systems including nondiagonal first order terms along with the underlying diffusion process we consider its multiplicative operator functional. We essentially exploit as well the fact that the system under consideration can be reduced to a scalar equation in a enlarged phase space. This allows to obtain some comparison theorems and to prove that a solution to FBSDE gives rise to a viscosity solution of the original Cauchy problem for a system of quasilinear parabolic equations.
We study the stochastic solution to a Cauchy problem for a degenerate parabolic equation arising from option pricing. When the diffusion coefficient of the underlying price process is locally Holder continuous with exponent $deltain (0, 1]$, the stochastic solution, which represents the price of a European option, is shown to be a classical solution to the Cauchy problem. This improves the standard requirement $deltage 1/2$. Uniqueness results, including a Feynman-Kac formula and a comparison theorem, are established without assuming the usual linear growth condition on the diffusion coefficient. When the stochastic solution is not smooth, it is characterized as the limit of an approximating smooth stochastic solutions. In deriving the main results, we discover a new, probabilistic proof of Kotanis criterion for martingality of a one-dimensional diffusion in natural scale.
The aim of this paper is twofold. The first is to study the asymptotics of a parabolically scaled, continuous and space-time stationary in time version of the well-known Funaki-Spohn model in Statistical Physics. After a change of unknowns requiring the existence of a space-time stationary eternal solution of a stochastically perturbed heat equation, the problem transforms to the qualitative homogenization of a uniformly elliptic, space-time stationary, divergence form, nonlinear partial differential equation, the study of which is the second aim of the paper. An important step is the construction of correctors with the appropriate behavior at infinity.
We prove a stochastic representation formula for the viscosity solution of Dirichlet terminal-boundary value problem for a degenerate Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman integro-partial differential equation in a bounded domain. We show that the unique viscosity solution is the value function of the associated stochastic optimal control problem. We also obtain the dynamic programming principle for the associated stochastic optimal control problem in a bounded domain.
