Regularity for nonlinear stochastic games
Annales de l'I.H.P. Analyse non linéaire, Volume 35 (2018) no. 6, pp. 1435-1456.

We establish regularity for functions satisfying a dynamic programming equation, which may arise for example from stochastic games or discretization schemes. Our results can also be utilized in obtaining regularity and existence results for the corresponding partial differential equations.
