The Bellman equation is the equality
#REDIRECT [[Fully nonlinear integro-differential equations]]
\[ \sup_{a \in \mathcal{A}} \, L_a u(x) = f(x), \]
where $L_a$ is some family of linear integro-differential operators indexed by an arbitrary set $\mathcal{A}$.
 
The equation appears naturally in problems of stochastic control with [[Levy processes]].
 
The equation is [[uniformly elliptic]] with respect to any class $\mathcal{L}$ that contains all the operators $L_a$.
 
Note that any '''convex''' fully nonlinear elliptic PDE of second order $F(D^2u, Du, u, x)$ can be written as a Bellman equation by taking the supremum of all supporting planes of $F$. It is not known whether that such representation holds for integro-differential equations.
