基于指数效用无差异价值过程的不完备市场下的可违约期权的定价模型

本文研究不完备市场情况下的可违约期权的动态指数效用无差异定价。不同于大多数的可违约期权定价文献,本文没有假定鞅的不变性,即通常的H 假设,而是通过信息流的扩张和测度的变换,将信用风险敏感的资产转换为一个G 局部鞅,其后引入一个具体的倒向随机微分方程（BSDE）,并证明该方程解的存在性与唯一性;然后利用无差异价值过程C_t（B,α）在最小熵鞅测度下对一般的投资策略为上鞅,而在最优投资策略下为鞅的事实,证明无差异价值过程C_t（B,α）就是BSDE 的解,从而给出可违约期权的定价。

Progressive Enlargement of Filtrations and Backward Stochastic Differential Equations with Jumps

This work deals with backward stochastic differential equations (BSDEs for short) with random marked jumps, and their applications to default risk. We show that these BSDEs are linked with Brownian BSDEs through the decomposition of processes with respect to the progressive enlargement of filtrations. We prove that the equations have solutions if the associated Brownian BSDEs have solutions. We also provide a uniqueness theorem for BSDEs with jumps by giving a comparison theorem based on the comparison for Brownian BSDEs. We give in particular some results for quadratic BSDEs. As applications, we study the pricing and the hedging of a European option in a market with a single jump, and the utility maximization problem in an incomplete market with a finite number of jumps.     

One-dimensional BSDEs with finite and infinite time horizons

This paper is devoted to solving one-dimensional backward stochastic differential equations (BSDEs), where the time horizon may be finite or infinite and the assumptions on the generator g are not necessary to be uniform on t. We first show the existence of the minimal solution for this kind of BSDEs with linear growth generators. Then, we establish a general comparison theorem for solutions of this kind of BSDEs with weakly monotonic and uniformly continuous generators. Finally, we give an existence and uniqueness result for solutions of this kind of BSDEs with uniformly continuous generators.

Convexity bounds for BSDE solutions, with applications to indifference valuation

We consider backward stochastic differential equations (BSDEs) with a particular quadratic generator and study the behaviour of their solutions when the probability measure is changed, the filtration is shrunk, or the underlying probability space is transformed. Our main results are upper bounds for the solutions of the original BSDEs in terms of solutions to other BSDEs which are easier to solve. We illustrate our results by applying them to exponential utility indifference valuation in a multidimensional It? process setting.     

Stationary backward stochastic differential equations and associated partial differential equations

By replacing the final condition for backward stochastic differential equations (in short: BSDEs) by a stationarity condition on the solution process we introduce a new class of BSDEs. In a natural manner we associate to such BSDEs the periodic solution of second order partial differential equations with periodic structure.

Reflected mean-field backward stochastic differential equations. Approximation and associated nonlinear PDEs

Mathematical mean-field approaches have been used in many fields, not only in Physics and Chemistry, but also recently in Finance, Economics, and Game Theory. In this paper we will study a new special mean-field problem in a purely probabilistic method, to characterize its limit which is the solution of mean-field backward stochastic differential equations (BSDEs) with reflections. On the other hand, we will prove that this type of reflected mean-field BSDEs can also be obtained as the limit equation of the mean-field BSDEs by penalization method. Finally, we give the probabilistic interpretation of the nonlinear and nonlocal partial differential equations with the obstacles by the solutions of reflected mean-field BSDEs.     

BSDEs driven by time-changed Lévy noises and optimal control

We study backward stochastic differential equations (BSDEs) for time-changed Lévy noises when the time-change is independent of the Lévy process. We prove existence and uniqueness of the solution and we obtain an explicit formula for linear BSDEs and a comparison principle. BSDEs naturally appear in control problems. Here we prove a sufficient maximum principle for a general optimal control problem of a system driven by a time-changed Lévy noise. As an illustration we solve the mean–variance portfolio selection problem.     

A simple constructive approach to quadratic BSDEs with or without delay

This paper provides a simple approach for the consideration of quadratic BSDEs with bounded terminal conditions. Using solely probabilistic arguments, we retrieve the existence and uniqueness result derived via PDE-based methods by Kobylanski (2000) [14]. This approach is related to the study of quadratic BSDEs presented by Tevzadze (2008) [19]. Our argumentation, as in Tevzadze (2008) [19], highly relies on the theory of BMO martingales which was used for the first time for BSDEs by Hu et al. (2005) [12]. However, we avoid in our method any fixed point argument and use Malliavin calculus to overcome the difficulty. Our new scheme of proof allows also to extend the class of quadratic BSDEs, for which there exists a unique solution: we incorporate delayed quadratic BSDEs, whose driver depends on the recent past of the Y$Y$ component of the solution. When the delay vanishes, we verify that the solution of a delayed quadratic BSDE converges to the solution of the corresponding classical non-delayed quadratic BSDE.     

A converse comparison theorem for anticipated BSDEs and related non-linear expectations

The converse comparison theorem has received much attention in the theory of backward stochastic differential equations (BSDEs). However, no such theorem has been proved for anticipated BSDEs. In this paper, we derive a converse comparison theorem by first giving an existence and uniqueness theorem for adapted solutions of anticipated BSDEs with a stopping time and then related to (f,δ)$(f,\delta )$-expectations induced by anticipated BSDEs.     

Multi-player stopping games with redistribution of payoffs and BSDEs with oblique reflection

We examine the connections between a novel class of multi-person stopping games with redistribution of payoffs and multi-dimensional reflected BSDEs in discrete- and continuous-time frameworks. Our goal is to provide an essential extension of classic results for two-player stopping games (Dynkin games) to the multi-player framework. We show the link between certain multi-period m$m$-player stopping games and a new kind of m$m$-dimensional reflected BSDEs. The existence and uniqueness of a solution to continuous-time reflected BSDEs are established. Continuous-time redistribution games are constructed with the help of reflected BSDEs and a characterization of the value of such stopping games is provided.
