On the Feynman–Kac representation for solutions of the Cauchy problem for parabolic equations in divergence form

Abstract

We consider the Cauchy problem for general second–order uniformly elliptic linear equation in divergence form. We give a stochastic representation of bounded weak solutions of the problem in terms of solutions of associated linear backward stochastic differential equations. Our representation may be considered as an extension of the classical Feynman–Kac formula.
