In this paper we first prove a general representation theorem for generators of backward stochastic differential equations (BSDEs for short) by utilizing a localization method involved with stopping time tools and approximation techniques, where the generators only need to satisfy a weak monotonicity condition and a general growth condition in $y$ and a Lipschitz condition in $z$. This result basically solves the problem of representation theorems for generators of BSDEs with general growth generators in $y$. Then, such representation theorem is adopted to prove a probabilistic formula, in viscosity sense, of semilinear parabolic PDEs of second order. The representation theorem approach seems to be a potential tool to the research of viscosity solutions of PDEs.
The purpose of this note is to propose a new approach for the probabilistic interpretation of Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman equations associated with stochastic recursive optimal control problems, utilizing the representation theorem for generators of backward stochastic differential equations. The key idea of our approach for proving this interpretation consists of transmitting the signs between the solution and generator via the identity given by representation theorem. Compared with existing methods, our approach seems to be more applicable for general settings. This can also be regarded as a new application of such representation theorem.
In this paper, we establish representation theorems for generators of backward stochastic differential equations (BSDEs in short) in probability spaces with general filtration from the perspective of transposition solutions of BSDEs. As applications, we give a converse comparison theorem for generators of BSDEs and also some characterizations to positive homogeneity, independence of y, subadditivity and convexity of generators of BSDEs. Then, we extend concepts of g-expectations and conditional g-expectations to the probability spaces with general filtration and investigate their properties.
This paper is devoted to solving a multidimensional backward stochastic differential equation with a general time interval, where the generator is uniformly continuous in $(y,z)$ non-uniformly with respect to $t$. By establishing some results on deterministic backward differential equations with general time intervals, and by virtue of Girsanovs theorem and convolution technique, we establish a new existence and uniqueness result for solutions of this kind of backward stochastic differential equations, which extends the results of Hamadene (2003) and Fan, Jiang, Tian (2011) to the general time interval case.
Motivated by an equilibrium problem, we establish the existence of a solution for a family of Markovian backward stochastic differential equations with quadratic nonlinearity and discontinuity in $Z$. Using unique continuation and backward uniqueness, we show that the set of discontinuity has measure zero. In a continuous-time stochastic model of an endowment economy, we prove the existence of an incomplete Radner equilibrium with nondegenerate endogenous volatility.
In this paper, we are interested in solving general time interval multidimensional backward stochastic differential equations in $L^p$ $(pgeq 1)$. We first study the existence and uniqueness for $L^p$ $(p>1)$ solutions by the method of convolution and weak convergence when the generator is monotonic in $y$ and Lipschitz continuous in $z$ both non-uniformly with respect to $t$. Then we obtain the existence and uniqueness for $L^1$ solutions with an additional assumption that the generator has a sublinear growth in $z$ non-uniformly with respect to $t$.
