Feynman-Kac formula in action.












3












$begingroup$


Briefly speaking, the Feynman-Kac formula gives a way for constructing $C^2$ functions satisfying certain PDEs in the classical sense (at least, it's how it is explained in Oksendal's book that I am currently reading).



This method relies on Ito-diffusions and can be easily implemented from a numerical viewpoint, offering a PDE Monte-Carlo solver.



Again, let me point out how the theory relies on a classical-derivative viewpoint.



My question is: can this technique be extended to more general Sobolev spaces, in order to construct Monte Carlo methods for certain PDEs in a weak sense?



A good reference would suffice.



Thanks in advance for the help.
