Abstract

In this paper, we consider the Cauchy problem of semi-linear degenerate backward stochastic partial differential equations (BSPDEs) under general settings without technical assumptions on the coefficients. For the solution of semi-linear degenerate BSPDE, we first give a proof for its existence and uniqueness, as well as regularity. Then the connection between semi-linear degenerate BSPDEs and forward–backward stochastic differential equations (FBSDEs) is established, which can be regarded as an extension of the Feynman–Kac formula to the non-Markovian framework.
