Stochastic Interpretation of Quasilinear Parabolic Systems with Cross Diffusion

Abstract

We construct a stochastic interpretation of the generalized solution of the Cauchy problem for a strongly coupled system of quasilinear parabolic equations. To this end we derive a system of stochastic equations and prove that its solution allows us to construct a probabilistic representation of the original Cauchy problem solution and investigate its properties. Our construction of a probabilistic representation of the generalized solution of the Cauchy problem is crucially based on results of stochastic flow theory.
