In this paper we explain that the natural filtration of a continuous Hunt process is continuous, and show that martingales over such a filtration are continuous. We further establish a martingale representation theorem for a class of continuous Hunt processes under certain technical conditions. In particular we establish the martingale representation theorem for the martingale parts of (reflecting) symmetric diffusions in a bounded domain with a continuous boundary. Together with an approach put forward in [21], our martingale representation theorem is then applied to the study of initial and boundary problems for quasilinear parabolic equations by using solutions to backward stochastic differential equations over the filtered probability space determined by reflecting diffusions in a bounded domain with only continuous boundary. 0 AMS Classification. 60H10, 60H30, 60J45
