Abstract
A Feynman-Kac representation is proved for geometric partial differential equations. This representation is in terms of a stochastic target problem. In this problem the controller tries to steer a controlled process into a given target by judicial choices of controls. The sublevel sets of the unique level set solution of the geometric equation is shown to coincide with the reachability sets of the target problem whose target is the sublevel set of the final data.
