A probabilistic approach to quasilinear parabolic PDEs with obstacle and Neumann problems

Abstract

In this paper, by a probabilistic approach we prove that there exists a unique viscosity solution to obstacle problems of quasilinear parabolic PDEs combined with Neumann boundary conditions and algebra equations. The existence and uniqueness for adapted solutions of fully coupled forward-backward stochastic differential equations with reflections play a crucial role. Compared with existing works, in our result the spatial variable of solutions of PDEs lives in a region without convexity constraints, the second order coefficient of PDEs depends on the gradient of the solution, and the required conditions for the coefficients are weaker.
