We construct a value process on the canonical path space, considered simultaneously under a family of singular measures, rather than the usual family of processes indexed by the controls. This value process is characterized by a second order backward SDE, which can be seen as a non-Markovian analogue of the Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman partial differential equation. Moreover, our value process yields a generalization of the G-expectation to the context of SDEs.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2012-05-07T14:43:45.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "93E20", "49L20", "60H10", "60G44", "91B30" ], "keywords": [ "non-markovian stochastic differential equations", "quasi-sure approach", "study stochastic differential equations", "hamilton-jacobi-bellman partial differential equation", "second order backward sde" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 27, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2011arXiv1106.3273N" } } }
