Abstract

The martingale representation theorem in a Brownian filtration represents any square integrable r.v. ξ as a stochastic integral with respect to the Brownian motion. This is the simplest Backward SDE with nul generator and final data ξ, which can be seen as the non-Markov counterpart of the Cauchy problem in second order parabolic PDEs. Similarly, the notion of Second order BSDEs is the non-Markov counterpart of the fully-nonlinear Cauchy problem, and is motivated by applications in finance and probabilistic numerical methods for PDEs.
