We extend the branching process based numerical algorithm of Bouchard et al. [3], that is dedicated to semilinear PDEs (or BSDEs) with Lipschitz nonlinearity, to the case where the nonlinearity involves the gradient of the solution. As in [3], this requires a localization procedure that uses a priori estimates on the true solution, so as to ensure the well-posedness of the involved Picard iteration scheme, and the global convergence of the algorithm. When, the nonlinearity depends on the gradient, the later needs to be controlled as well. This is done by using a face-lifting procedure. Convergence of our algorithm is proved without any limitation on the time horizon. We also provide numerical simulations to illustrate the performance of the algorithm.

We propose a new numerical scheme for Backward Stochastic Differential Equations based on branching processes. We approximate an arbitrary (Lipschitz) driver by local polynomials and then use a Picard iteration scheme. Each step of the Picard iteration can be solved by using a representation in terms of branching diffusion systems, thus avoiding the need for a fine time discretization. In contrast to the previous literature on the numerical resolution of BSDEs based on branching processes, we prove the convergence of our numerical scheme without limitation on the time horizon. Numerical simulations are provided to illustrate the performance of the algorithm.
We consider Galton-Watson branching processes with countable typeset $mathcal{X}$. We study the vectors ${bf q}(A)=(q_x(A))_{xinmathcal{X}}$ recording the conditional probabilities of extinction in subsets of types $Asubseteq mathcal{X}$, given that the type of the initial individual is $x$. We first investigate the location of the vectors ${bf q}(A)$ in the set of fixed points of the progeny generating vector and prove that $q_x({x})$ is larger than or equal to the $x$th entry of any fixed point, whenever it is different from 1. Next, we present equivalent conditions for $q_x(A)< q_x (B)$ for any initial type $x$ and $A,Bsubseteq mathcal{X}$. Finally, we develop a general framework to characterise all emph{distinct} extinction probability vectors, and thereby to determine whether there are finitely many, countably many, or uncountably many distinct vectors. We illustrate our results with examples, and conclude with open questions.
The paper analyzes risk assessment for cash flows in continuous time using the notion of convex risk measures for processes. By combining a decomposition result for optional measures, and a dual representation of a convex risk measure for bounded cd processes, we show that this framework provides a systematic approach to the both issues of model ambiguity, and uncertainty about the time value of money. We also establish a link between risk measures for processes and BSDEs.
We study quantitative stability of the solutions to Markovian quadratic reflected BSDEs with bounded terminal data. By virtue of the BMO martingale and change of measure techniques, we obtain the estimate of the variation of the solutions in terms of the difference of the driven forward processes. In addition, we propose a truncated discrete-time numerical scheme for quadratic reflected BSDEs, and obtain the explicit rate of convergence by applying the quantitative stability result.
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.
