Abstract

In this note we consider a family of nonlinear (conditional) expectations that can be understood as a multidimensional diffusion with uncertain drift and certain volatility. Here, the drift is prescribed by a set-valued function that depends on time and path in a Markovian way. We establish the Feller property for the associated sublinear Markovian semigroup and we observe a smoothing effect as our framework carries enough randomness. Furthermore, we link the corresponding value function to a semilinear Kolmogorov equation.
