Averaging of Backward Stochastic Differential Equations and Homogenization of Partial Differential Equations with Periodic Coefficients
El Hassan Essaky, Youssef Ouknine · Stochastic Analysis and Applications · 2006
We study the limit of the solutions of systems of semi-linear partial differential equations (PDEs) of second order of parabolic type, with rapidly oscillating periodic coefficients, a singular drift, and singular coefficients of the zero and second order terms. Our basic tool is the approach given by Pardoux [14 Pardoux , E. 1999 . Homogenization of linear and semilinear second order parabolic PDEs with periodic coefficients: a probabilistic approach . J. Funct. Anal. 167 : 498 – 520 . [CSA] [CROSSREF] [Crossref], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar]]. In particular, we use the weak convergence of an associated backward stochastic differential equation (BSDE).
