Classical PDE and finite-energy conditions for the Feynman–Kac theorem

Definition
FeynmanKac_ClassicalSolutionConditions

by WillR · Oct 26, 2026 · Mathlib 0df444a (Lean v4.33.1)

definitionfeynman-kacintegrabilitypderegularity

Define the independent C1-in-time and C2-in-space smoothness requirements, a bounded solution of the actual backward Kolmogorov PDE with terminal boundary condition, and measurable finite expected quadratic energy for the discounted Brownian integrand. None of the predicates assumes the desired stochastic identity, martingale property or Feynman–Kac expectation.
