3 Standard PDEs vs. PPDEs Second-order parabolic standard PDEs/ integro-differential equations: t u+g(t, x, u, x u, 2 xxu, (I α,β u) α,β ) = 0, (t, x) [0, T ) R. u = u(t, x): Object whose evolution at given time depends on its current state. Markovian case. Second-order parabolic path-dependent PDEs (PPDEs)/ integro-differential equations: t u+g(t, ω, u, ω u, 2 ωωu, (I α,β u) α,β ) = 0, (t, ω) [0, T ) Ω, where Ω is a path space u non-anticipating: u(t, ω) = u(t, ω t ). u = u(t, ω): Object whose evolution at given time depends on its past. Non-markovian case. Christian Keller (USC) PPDEs 3 / 14

6 Path-dependent heat equation and setup t u ωωu = 0 Ω := C([0, T ]), Λ := [0, T ) Ω, Λ := [0, T ] Ω pseudometric on Λ: d ((t, ω), (t, ω )) := t t + ω t ω t Cb 0( Λ): bounded functionals Λ R cont. under d Note: u Cb 0( Λ) u non-anticipating X canonical process: X t (ω) = ω t F 0 = (Ft 0 ) filtration generated by X P t,ω probability measure such that, P t,ω -a.s., X = ω on [0, t] X = ωt + W W t on (t, T ] where W Wiener process.

16 Difficulties in jump case Hitting times of closed sets are totally inaccessible and not F 0 -stopping times = Need F instead of F 0 Careful with regular conditional probabilities: Ft+ 0 not countably generated Use of piecewise Markovian" functionals & approximation with classical solutions of standard integro-differential equations more complicated as with standard PDEs Skorohod topologies are used: M1 instead of J1 Christian Keller (USC) PPDEs 13 / 14

17 Main result (2nd order semilinear equations) Operators on C 1,2 (Λ): Lu(t, ω) = b ω u(t, ω) c 2 ωωu(t, ω) + [u(t, ω + 1[t,T ] ) u(t, ω) z ω u(t, ω) ] K (dz) Iu(t, ω) = [u(t, ω + 1[t,T ] ) u(t, ω) ] η t K (dz) Theorem If ξ and f are nice, then t u + Lu + f (t, ω, u, ω u, Iu) = 0 u(t, ) = ξ in Λ on Ω has a unique viscosity solution u. Moreover, u has a stochastic representation in terms of BSDEs with jumps. Christian Keller (USC) PPDEs 14 / 14
