✦ Synopsis

The existence of value functions for general two-player, zero-sum stochastic differential games has been obtained by Fleming and Souganidis. In this paper we present a new approach to this problem. We prove optimality inequalities of dynamic programming for viscosity sub-and supersolutions of the associated Bellman᎐Isaacs equations. These inequalities are well known for deterministic differential games but are new for stochastic differential games. It then easily follows that value functions are the unique viscosity solutions of the Bellman᎐Isaacs equations and satisfy the principle of dynamic programming. The results presented here are not the same as those of Fleming and Souganidis because we work with different reference spaces and the independence of value functions of the choice of reference spaces is not clear to us.

In this paper we shall consider the existence, uniqueness, and asymptotic behavior of mild solutions to stochastic partial functional differential equations with finite delay r > 0: dX(t)=[ -AX(t)+f(t, X t )] dt+g(t, X t ) dW(t), where we assume that -A is a closed, densely defined linear operator a

The solution of astochastic partial differential equation withwhite noise disturbance can be treated in two different ways: as & real-valued random field or as a function-space valued stochastic process. After introducing these views briefly it is shown that these two approaches m e equivalent. Some
