Extended backward stochastic Volterra integral equations, Quasilinear parabolic equations, and Feynman–Kac formula

Abstract

This paper is concerned with the relationship between backward stochastic Volterra integral equations (BSVIEs, for short) and a kind of non-local quasilinear (and possibly degenerate) parabolic equations. As a natural extension of BSVIEs, the extended BSVIEs (EBSVIEs, for short) are introduced and investigated. Under some mild conditions, the well-posedness of EBSVIEs is established and some regularity results of the adapted solution to EBSVIEs are obtained via Malliavin calculus. Then it is shown that a given function expressed in terms of the adapted solution to EBSVIEs uniquely solves a certain system of non-local parabolic equations, which generalizes the famous nonlinear Feynman–Kac formula in Pardoux–Peng [Backward stochastic differential equations and quasilinear parabolic partial differential equations, in Stochastic Partial Differential Equations and Their Applications (Springer, 1992), pp. 200–217].
