Abstract:
Given a bounded domain and two integro-differential
operators
of the form
we study the fully nonlinear Bellman equation
with Dirichlet boundary conditions. Here, are
nonnegative functions.
We prove the existence of a nonnegative function
which satisfies (0.1) almost everywhere. The main difficulty arises
through the nonlocality of
and the absence of regularity near the boundary.
