Abstract: We prove a result of existence and uniqueness of solutions to forward-backward stochastic differential equations, with non-degeneracy of the diffusion matrix and boundedness of the coefficients as functions of x as main assumptions. This result is proved in two steps. The first part studies the problem of existence and uniqueness over a small enough time duration, whereas the second one explains, by using the connection with quasi-linear parabolic system of PDEs, how we can deduce, from this local result, the existence and uniqueness of a solution over an arbitrarily prescribed time duration. Improving this method, we obtain a result of existence and uniqueness of classical solutions to non-degenerate quasi-linear parabolic systems of PDEs. This approach relaxes the regularity assumptions required on the coefficients by the Four-Step scheme.
