In this paper, we consider the backward stochastic differential equation (BSDE) with generator $f(y)|z|^2,$ where the function $f$ is defined on an open interval $D$ and locally integrable. The existence and uniqueness of bounded solutions and $L^p(pgeq1)$ solutions of such BSDEs are obtained. Some comparison theorems and a converse comparison theorem of such BSDEs are established. As an application, we give a probabilistic interpretation of viscosity solution of quadratic PDEs.
In this paper, we provide a one-to-one correspondence between the solution Y of a BSDE with singular terminal condition and the solution H of a BSDE with singular generator. This result provides the precise asymptotic behavior of Y close to the final time and enlarges the uniqueness result to a wider class of generators.
In this paper we discuss new types of differential equations which we call anticipated backward stochastic differential equations (anticipated BSDEs). In these equations the generator includes not only the values of solutions of the present but also the future. We show that these anticipated BSDEs have unique solutions, a comparison theorem for their solutions, and a duality between them and stochastic differential delay equations.
In this paper, we study the solvability of anticipated backward stochastic differential equations (BSDEs, for short) with quadratic growth for one-dimensional case and multi-dimensional case. In these BSDEs, the generator, which is of quadratic growth in Z, involves not only the present information of solution (Y, Z) but also its future one. The existence and uniqueness of such BSDEs, under different conditions, are derived for several terminal situations, including small terminal value, bounded terminal value and unbounded terminal value.
We consider backward stochastic differential equations (BSDEs) related to finite state, continuous time Markov chains. We show that appropriate solutions exist for arbitrary terminal conditions, and are unique up to sets of measure zero. We do not require the generating functions to be monotonic, instead using only an appropriate Lipschitz continuity condition.
We solve a class of BSDE with a power function $f(y) = y^q$, $q > 1$, driving its drift and with the terminal boundary condition $ xi = infty cdot mathbf{1}_{B(m,r)^c}$ (for which $q > 2$ is assumed) or $ xi = infty cdot mathbf{1}_{B(m,r)}$, where $B(m,r)$ is the ball in the path space $C([0,T])$ of the underlying Brownian motion centered at the constant function $m$ and radius $r$. The solution involves the derivation and solution of a related heat equation in which $f$ serves as a reaction term and which is accompanied by singular and discontinuous Dirichlet boundary conditions. Although the solution of the heat equation is discontinuous at the corners of the domain the BSDE has continuous sample paths with the prescribed terminal value.
