Abstract

This paper presents a partial state of the art about the topic of representation of generalized Fokker-Planck Partial Differential Equations (PDEs) by solutions of McKean Feynman-Kac Equations (MFKEs) that generalize the notion of McKean Stochastic Differential Equations (MSDEs). While MSDEs can be related to non-linear Fokker-Planck PDEs, MFKEs can be related to non-conservative non-linear PDEs. Motivations come from modeling issues but also from numerical approximation issues in computing the solution of a PDE, arising for instance in the context of stochastic control. MFKEs also appear naturally in representing final value problems related to backward Fokker-Planck equations.
