We then prove the comparison theorem (or maximum principle) of this new type of equation which is the key property of this framework. To overcome the well-known difficulty of non-compactness of the space of paths for the maximization, we have introduced a new approach, called left frozen maximization approach which permits us to obtain the comparison principle for smooth as well as viscosity solutions of path-dependent PDE. A solution of a backward stochastic differential equation and a G-martingale under a G-expectation are typical examples of such type of solutions of P-PDE. The maximum principle for viscosity solutions of classical PDE, called state dependent PDE, is a special case.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2012-02-19T16:15:23.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "viscosity solution", "path-dependent pde", "g-martingale", "nonlinear parabolic path-dependent partial differential", "parabolic path-dependent partial differential equations" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2011arXiv1106.1144P" } } }
