Abstract: This paper proves the existence of viscosity solutions of path dependent semilinear PDEs via Perron's method, i.e. via showing that the supremum of viscosity subsolutions is a viscosity solution. We use the notion of viscosity solutions introduced by Ekren, Keller, Touzi and Zhang, in whose work all smooth processes which are tangent in mean are considered as test functions. We also provide a comparison result for semicontinuous viscosity solutions, by using a regularization technique. As an interesting byproduct, we give a new short proof for the optimal stopping problem with semicontinuous obstacles.
