Abstract


In this paper we characterize viscosity solutions to nonlinear parabolic equations (including parabolic Monge-Ampère equations) by asymptotic mean value formulas. Our asymptotic mean value formulas can be interpreted from a probabilistic point of view in terms of dynamic programming principles for certain two-player, zero-sum games.
