In this Note we study a class of BSDEs which admits a particular singularity in their driver. More precisely, we assume that the driver is not integrable and degenerates when approaching to the terminal time of the equation.

The paper investigates existence and uniqueness for a stochastic differential equation (SDE) with distributional drift depending on the law density of the solution. Those equations are known as McKean SDEs. The McKean SDE is interpreted in the sense of a suitable singular martingale problem. A key tool used in the investigation is the study of the corresponding Fokker-Planck equation.
We consider the minimal super-solution of a backward stochastic differential equation with constraint on the gains-process. The terminal condition is given by a function of the terminal value of a forward stochastic differential equation. Under boundedness assumptions on the coefficients, we show that the first component of the solution is Lipschitz in space and 1/2-Holder in time with respect to the initial data of the forward process. Its path is continuous before the time horizon at which its left-limit is given by a face-lifted version of its natural boundary condition. This first component is actually equal to its own face-lift. We only use probabilistic arguments. In particular, our results can be extended to certain non-Markovian settings.
We introduce a new class of Backward Stochastic Differential Equations in which the $T$-terminal value $Y_{T}$ of the solution $(Y,Z)$ is not fixed as a random variable, but only satisfies a weak constraint of the form $E[Psi(Y_{T})]ge m$, for some (possibly random) non-decreasing map $Psi$ and some threshold $m$. We name them textit{BSDEs with weak terminal condition} and obtain a representation of the minimal time $t$-values $Y_{t}$ such that $(Y,Z)$ is a supersolution of the BSDE with weak terminal condition. It provides a non-Markovian BSDE formulation of the PDE characterization obtained for Markovian stochastic target problems under controlled loss in Bouchard, Elie and Touzi cite{BoElTo09}. We then study the main properties of this minimal value. In particular, we analyze its continuity and convexity with respect to the $m$-parameter appearing in the weak terminal condition, and show how it can be related to a dual optimal control problem in Meyer form. These last properties generalize to a non Markovian framework previous results on quantile hedging and hedging under loss constraints obtained in F{o}llmer and Leukert cite{FoLe99,FoLe00}, and in Bouchard, Elie and Touzi cite{BoElTo09}.
We consider the uniqueness of solutions of ordinary differential equations where the coefficients may have singularities. We derive upper bounds on the the order of singularities of the coefficients and provide examples to illustrate the results.
In this paper we investigate BSDEs where the driver contains a distributional term (in the sense of generalised functions) and derive general Feynman-Kac formulae related to these BSDEs. We introduce an integral operator to give sense to the equation and then we show the existence of a strong solution employing results on a related PDE.Due to the irregularity of the driver, the $Y$-component of a couple $(Y,Z)$ solving the BSDE is not necessarily a semimartingale but a weak Dirichlet process.
