We obtain the existence and uniqueness results in Sobolev space $L^p(\\Omega; C([0,T];W^{m,p}))$ with both $m\\geq 1$ and $p\\geq 2$ being arbitrary, without imposing the symmetry condition for the coefficient $\\sigma$ of the gradient of the second unknown---which was introduced by Ma and Yong [Prob. Theor. Relat. Fields 113 (1999)] in the case of $p=2$. To illustrate the application, we give a maximum principle for optimal control of degenerate stochastic partial differential equations.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2011-05-07T09:00:37.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "60H15", "93E20" ], "keywords": [ "linear degenerate backward stochastic partial", "backward stochastic partial differential equations", "degenerate backward stochastic partial differential", "degenerate stochastic partial differential equations" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 29, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2011arXiv1105.1428D" } } }
