Abstract

We prove the monotonicity inequality for differential operators A and L that occur as coefficients in linear stochastic partial differential equations associated with finite-dimensional Itô processes. We characterize the solutions of such equations. A probabilistic representation is obtained for solutions to a class of evolution equations associated with time dependent, possibly degenerate, second-order elliptic differential operators.
