On quasilinear parabolic systems and FBSDEs of quadratic growth (2206.08334v2)

Abstract: Using probabilistic methods, we establish a-priori estimates for two classes of quasilinear parabolic systems of partial differential equations (PDEs). We treat in particular the case of a nonlinearity which has quadratic growth in the gradient of the unknown. As a result of our estimates, we obtain the existence of classical solutions of the PDE system. From this, we infer the existence of solutions to a corresponding class of forward-backward stochastic differential equations.
