Forward-backward stochastic differential systems associated to Navier-Stokes equations in the whole space (Q2348294)

Two coupled forward-backward stochastic differential systems (FBSDS) in the whole space are studied such that their local existences (and uniqueness) of solution are expressed by probabilistic representations. One of them is identified with the unique strong solution to the Navier-Stokes equation, while the second one is identified with the following PDE of Burgers' type: \(\partial_t u+\nu \Delta u+ \left( (b+\alpha u) \cdot \nabla\right) u+ cu +\phi =0\) in \(\mathbb{R}^d\times ]0,T[\), and \(u(T)=\psi\). Some considerations about the global solvability are included. Moreover, the authors prove that the velocity field of the Navier-Stokes equation may be approximated by solutions of truncated in time FBSDS. Finally, the authors derive from the probabilistic representation one formula for the velocity field of the N-S equation through which the connection with the Lagrangian approach is showed, and as consequence the strong solution to the Cauchy problem of the N-S equation is interpreted as a critical point of controlled FBSDS.
