N2 - Let D be a bounded domain in ℝd with smooth boundary ∂D. We give a probabilistic representation formula for the non-negative solution of the mixed Dirichlet non-linear Neumann boundary value problem (DNP) {Δu = 0 in D, u = φ on F2 ∂nu + 2u2 = 0 on F1, where F1, F2 is a non-trivial partition of ∂D, φ is a non-negative, bounded and continuous function defined on F2, and ∂Fn denotes the outward normal derivative on the boundary of D. To solve the DNP, we consider a catalytic super-Brownian motion with underlying motion a Brownian motion reflected on ∂D, killed when it reaches F2 and catalysed by the set F1, i.e. the branching rate is given by the local time of the paths on F1. Then we prove that the log-Laplace transform of φ integrated with respect to the exit measure of the catalytic process on F2, is a non-negative weak solution of the DNP. In a second part we show that we still have a probabilistic representation formula if the Dirichlet condition on F2 is replaced by a Neumann condition.
