Abstract:
In this paper the author proves theorems on passage to the limit in nonlinear parabolic equations of the form $Fu=0$, arising in the theory of optimal control of random processes of diffusion type. Under the assumptions that i) the functions $u_n$ and $u$ have bounded Sobolev derivatives in $t$, ii) the $u_n$ and $u$ are convex downwards in $x$,
iii) the $u_n$ are uniformly bounded in some domain $Q$, iv) $u_n\to u$ a.e. in $Q$,
v) the coefficients of linear combinations of $F$ satisfy certain smoothness conditions, it is proved that $Fu_n=0$ on $Q$ for all $n$ implies $Fu=0$ on $Q$. The second derivatives of the $u_n$ and $u$ with respect to $x$ are understood in the generalized sense (as measures), and the equations $Fu_n=0$ and $Fu=0$ are considered in the lattice of measures.
