We consider the following quasi-linear parabolic system of backward partial differential equations [Formula: see text] where L is a possibly degenerate second-order differential operator with merely measurable coefficients. We solve this system in the framework of generalized Dirichlet forms and employ the stochastic calculus associated to the Markov process with generator L to obtain a probabilistic representation of the solution u by solving the corresponding backward stochastic differential equation. The solution satisfies the corresponding mild equation which is equivalent to being a generalized solution of the PDE. A further main result is the generalization of the martingale representation theorem using the stochastic calculus associated to the generalized Dirichlet form given by L. The nonlinear term f satisfies a monotonicity condition with respect to u and a Lipschitz condition with respect to ∇u.

We show that any strictly quasi-regular generalized Dirichlet form that satisfies the mild structural condition D3 is associated to a Hunt process, and that the associated Hunt process can be approximated by a sequence of multivariate Poisson processes. This also gives a new proof for the existence of a Hunt process associated to a strictly quasi-regular generalized Dirichlet form that satisfies SD3 and extends all previous results.

Introducing the corresponding strict capacity, we give necessary and sufficient conditions for a generalized Dirichlet form to be associated with a Hunt process. We also show that Borel measurable sets with strict capacity zero can be checked-out by an appropriate subclass of smooth measures. In the last part of this paper we present applications to three classes of examples.
