Second Order Backward Stochastic Differential Equations with Quadratic   Growth
  We extend the wellposedness results for second order backward stochastic differential equations introduced by Soner, Touzi and Zhang \cite{stz} to the case of a bounded terminal condition and a generator with quadratic growth in the $z$ variable. More precisely, we obtain uniqueness through a representation of the solution inspired by stochastic control theory, and we obtain two existence results using two different methods. In particular, we obtain the existence of the simplest purely quadratic 2BSDEs through the classical exponential change, which allows us to introduce a quasi-sure version of the entropic risk measure. As an application, we also study robust risk-sensitive control problems. Finally, we prove a Feynman-Kac formula and a probabilistic representation for fully nonlinear PDEs in this setting.
