抄録

Beginning from a space of smooth, cylindrical and non-anticipative processes defined on a Wiener probability space (Ω, ℱ, P), we introduce a P-weighted Sobolev space, or “P-Sobolev space”, of non-anticipative path-dependent processes u = u(t,ω) such that the corresponding Sobolev derivatives \mathcal{D}t + (1/2)Δx and \mathcal{D}xu of Dupire's type are well defined on this space. We identify each element of this Sobolev space with the one in the space of classical LPp integrable Itô's process. Consequently, a new path-dependent Itô's formula is applied to all such Itô processes. <br> It follows that the path-dependent nonlinear Feynman–Kac formula is satisfied for most LPp-solutions of backward SDEs: each solution of such BSDE is identified with the solution of the corresponding quasi-linear path-dependent PDE (PPDE). Rich and important results of existence, uniqueness, monotonicity and regularity of BSDEs, obtained in the past decades can be directly applied to obtain their corresponding properties in the new fields of PPDEs. <br> In the above framework of P-Sobolev space based on the Wiener probability measure P, only the derivatives \mathcal{D}t + (1/2)Δx and \mathcal{D}xu are well-defined and well-integrated. This prevents us from formulating and solving a fully nonlinear PPDE. We then replace the linear Wiener expectation EP by a sublinear G-expectation \mathbb{E}G and thus introduce the corresponding G-expectation weighted Sobolev space, or “G-Sobolev space”, in which the derivatives \mathcal{D}tu, \mathcal{D}xu and \mathcal{D}x2u are all well defined separately. We then formulate a type of fully nonlinear PPDEs in the G-Sobolev space and then identify them to a type of backward SDEs driven by G-Brownian motion.
