G.Parisi predicted an important variational formula for the thermodynamic limit of the intensive free energy for a class of mean field spin glasses. In this paper, we present an elementary approach to the study of the Parisi functional using stochastic dynamic programing and semi-linear PDE. We give a derivation of important properties of the Parisi PDE avoiding the use of Ruelle Probability Cascades and Cole-Hopf transformations. As an application, we give a simple proof of the strict convexity of the Parisi functional, which was recently proved by Auffinger and Chen in [2].
