Reflected BSDEs with nonpositive jumps,and controller-and-stopper games

We study a class of reflected backward stochastic differential equations with nonpositive jumps and upper barrier. Existence and uniqueness of a minimal solution are proved by a double penalization approach under regularity assumptions on the obstacle. In a suitable regime switching diffusion framework, we show the connection between our class of BSDEs and fully nonlinear variational inequalities. Our BSDE representation provides in particular a Feynman–Kac type formula for PDEs associated to general zero-sum stochastic differential controller-and-stopper games, where control affects both drift and diffusion term, and the diffusion coefficient can be degenerate. Moreover, we state a dual game formula of this BSDE minimal solution involving equivalent change of probability measures, and discount processes. This gives in particular a new representation for zero-sum stochastic differential controller-and-stopper games.     

Multi-dimensional reflected backward stochastic differential equations and the comparison theorem

In this article, we study the multi-dimensional reflected backward stochastic differential equations. The existence and uniqueness result of the solution for this kind of equation is proved by the fixed point argument where every element of the solution is forced to stay above the given stochastic process, i.e., multi-dimensional obstacle, respectively. We also give a kind of multi-dimensional comparison theorem for the reflected BSDE and then use it as the tool to prove an existence result for the multi-dimensional reflected BSDE where the coefficient is continuous and has linear growth.

BSDEs with Jumps and Path-Dependent Parabolic Integro-differential Equations

This paper deals with backward stochastic differential equations with jumps, whose data (the terminal condition and coefficient) are given functions of jump-diffusion process paths. The author introduces a type of nonlinear path-dependent parabolic integrodifferential equations, and then obtains a new type of nonlinear Feynman-Kac formula related to such BSDEs with jumps under some regularity conditions.     

BSDEs with stochastic Lipschitz condition and quadratic PDEs in Hilbert spaces

This paper is devoted to real valued backward stochastic differential equations (BSDEs for short) with generators which satisfy a stochastic Lipschitz condition involving BMO martingales. This framework arises naturally when looking at the BSDE satisfied by the gradient of the solution to a BSDE with quadratic growth in Z$Z$. We first prove an existence and uniqueness result from which we deduce the differentiability with respect to parameters of solutions to quadratic BSDEs. Finally, we apply these results to prove the existence and uniqueness of a mild solution to a parabolic partial differential equation in Hilbert space with nonlinearity having quadratic growth in the gradient of the solution.     

SOME RECENT PROGRESS ON STOCHASTIC HEAT EQUATIONS

This article attempts to give a short survey of recent progress on a class of elementary stochastic partial differential equations(for example, stochastic heat equations)driven by Gaussian noise of various covariance structures. The focus is on the existence and uniqueness of the classical(square integrable) solution(mild solution, weak solution). It is also concerned with the Feynman-Kac formula for the solution; Feynman-Kac formula for the moments of the solution; and their applications to the asymptotic moment bounds of the solution. It also briefly touches the exact asymptotics of the moments of the solution.     

Doubly reflected BSDEs driven by a Lévy process

In this paper, we show the existence and uniqueness of the solution for a class of doubly reflected backward stochastic differential equations driven by a Lévy process (DRBSDELs in short) by means of the penalization method as well as the fixed point theorem. In addition, we obtain the comparison theorem for the solutions of DRBSDELs. As an application, we give a probabilistic formula for the viscosity solution of a class of partial differential-integral equations (PDIEs in short) with two obstacles.     

Forward–backward SDEs with jumps and classical solutions to nonlocal quasilinear parabolic PDEs

We obtain an existence and uniqueness theorem for fully coupled forward–backward SDEs (FBSDEs) with jumps via the classical solution to the associated quasilinear parabolic partial integro-differential equation (PIDE), and provide the explicit form of the FBSDE solution. Moreover, we embed the associated PIDE into a suitable class of non-local quasilinear parabolic PDEs which allows us to extend the methodology of Ladyzhenskaya et al. (1968) to non-local PDEs of this class. Namely, we obtain the existence and uniqueness of a classical solution to both the Cauchy problem and the initial–boundary value problem for non-local quasilinear parabolic second-order PDEs.

Reflected forward–backward stochastic differential equations and related PDEs

In this article, we study a type of coupled reflected forward–backward stochastic differential equations (reflected FBSDEs, for short) with continuous coefficients, including the existence and the uniqueness of the solution of our reflected FBSDEs as well as the comparison theorem. We prove that the solution of our reflected FBSDEs gives a probabilistic interpretation for the viscosity solution of an obstacle problem for a quasilinear parabolic partial differential equation.     

Generalized reflected BSDEs driven by a Lévy process and an obstacle problem for PDIEs with a nonlinear Neumann boundary condition

In this paper, we derive the existence and uniqueness of the solution for a class of generalized reflected backward stochastic differential equations (GRBSDEs in short) driven by a Lévy process, which involve the integral with respect to a continuous process by means of the Snell envelope, the penalization method and the fixed point theorem. In addition, we obtain the comparison theorem for the solutions of the GRBSDEs. As an application, we give a probabilistic formula for the viscosity solution of an obstacle problem for a class of partial differential-integral equations (PDIEs in short) with a nonlinear Neumann boundary condition.     

BSDES IN GAMES,COUPLED WITH THE VALUE FUNCTIONS. ASSOCIATED NONLOCAL BELLMAN-ISAACS EQUATIONS

We establish a new type of backward stochastic differential equations(BSDEs)connected with stochastic differential games(SDGs), namely, BSDEs strongly coupled with the lower and the upper value functions of SDGs, where the lower and the upper value functions are defined through this BSDE. The existence and the uniqueness theorem and comparison theorem are proved for such equations with the help of an iteration method. We also show that the lower and the upper value functions satisfy the dynamic programming principle. Moreover, we study the associated Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman-Isaacs(HJB-Isaacs)equations, which are nonlocal, and strongly coupled with the lower and the upper value functions. Using a new method, we characterize the pair(W, U) consisting of the lower and the upper value functions as the unique viscosity solution of our nonlocal HJB-Isaacs equation. Furthermore, the game has a value under the Isaacs' condition.     

Probabilistic approach to homogenization of a non-divergence form semilinear PDE with non-periodic coefficients

We consider a semilinear partial differential equation (PDE) of non-divergence form perturbed by a small parameter. We then study the asymptotic behavior of Sobolev solutions in the case where the coefficients admit limits in C?esaro sense. Neither periodicity nor ergodicity will be needed for the coefficients. In our situation, the limit (or averaged or effective) coefficients may have discontinuity. Our approach combines both probabilistic and PDEs arguments. The probabilistic one uses the weak convergence of solutions of backward stochastic differential equations (BSDE) in the Jakubowski S-topology, while the PDEs argument consists to built a solution, in a suitable Sobolev space, for the PDE limit. We finally show the existence and uniqueness for the associated averaged BSDE, then we deduce the uniqueness of the limit PDE from the uniqueness of the averaged BSDE.     

Representation Theorem for Generators of Quadratic BSDEs

In this paper, we establish a general representation theorem for generator of backward stochastic differential equation (BSDE), whose generator has a quadratic growth in z. As some applications, we obtain a general converse comparison theorem of such quadratic BSDEs and uniqueness theorem, translation invariance for quadratic g-expectation.     

Reflected solutions of backward stochastic differential equations driven by G-Brownian motion

In this paper, we study the reflected solutions of one-dimensional backward stochastic differential equations driven by G-Brownian motion. The reflection keeps the solution above a given stochastic process. In order to derive the uniqueness of reflected G-BSDEs, we apply a "martingale condition" instead of the Skorohod condition. Similar to the classical case, we prove the existence by approximation via penalization. We then give some applications including a generalized Feynman-Kac formula of an obstacle problem for fully nonlinear partial differential equation and option pricing of American types under volatility uncertainty.     

Anticipated BSDEs driven by a single jump process

In this paper, we discuss a class of anticipated backward stochastic differential equations related to a finite continuous time single jump process. We prove the existence and uniqueness of the adapted solution. Moreover, a comparison theorem for the solutions is also established.

Multidimensional BSDEs with weak monotonicity and general growth generators

This paper aims at solving a multidimensional backward stochastic differential equation （BSDE） whose generator g satisfies a weak monotonicity condition and a general growth condition in y. We first establish an existence and uniqueness result of solutions for this kind of BSDEs by using systematically the technique of the priori estimation, the convolution approach, the iteration, the truncation and the Bihari inequality. Then, we overview some assumptions related closely to the monotonieity condition in the literature and compare them in an effective way, which yields that our existence and uniqueness result really and truly unifies the Mao condition in y and the monotonieity condition with the general growth condition in y, and it generalizes some known results. Finally, we prove a stability theorem and a comparison theorem for this kind of BSDEs, which also improves some known results.
