Summary: The present paper continues the study [loc. cit.] of linear parabolic equations with nonstationary coefficients on an infinite time interval in a bounded space domain without Cauchy conditon at the endpoint to the time interval. This condition was replaced by the condition that the $$L_2$$-norm of the solution is finite on the entire infinite time interval. We proved theorems on the solvability of such problems. As a corollary we obtained the solvability conditions for parabolic equations, on a finite time interval $$(0,T)$$, for which the Cauchy condition $$u(x,T)= 0$$ is replaced by a condition of the form $$\kappa u(x,0)= u(x,T)$$, where $$\kappa\in [-1,1]$$.
In what follows we establish the solvability of a nonlinear (quasilinear) Bellman equation on a finite time interval with a similar boundary condition. The proof is based on the methods of optimal control theory, i.e., we prove that the desired solution is a Bellman function of the control problem for a random diffusion process with nonstationary time-periodic coefficients on the infinite time interval in a bounded space domain.
