Forward-backward doubly stochastic systems and classical solutions of path-dependent stochastic PDEs

Abstract

In this paper, a class of non-Markovian forward-backward doubly stochastic systems is studied. By using the technique of functional Itô (or path-dependent) calculus, the relationship between the systems and related path-dependent quasi-linear stochastic partial differential equations (SPDEs in short) is established, and the well-known nonlinear stochastic Feynman-Kac formula of Pardoux and Peng [Backward doubly stochastic differential equations and systems of quasilinear SPDEs, Probab. Theory Relat. Fields 98 (1994), pp. 209–227.] is developed to the non-Markovian situation. Moreover, we obtain the differentiability of the solution to the forward-backward doubly stochastic systems and some properties of solutions to the path-dependent SPDEs.
