BSDEs with no driving martingale, Markov processes and associated Pseudo Partial Differential Equations. Part II: Decoupled mild solutions and Examples

Let $(\mathbb{P}^{s,x})_{(s,x)\in[0,T]\times E}$ be a family of probability measures, where $E$ is a Polish space,defined on the canonical probability space ${\mathbb D}([0,T],E)$ of $E$-valued cadlag functions. We suppose that a martingale problem with respect to a time-inhomogeneous generator $a$ is well-posed. We consider also an associated semilinear {\it Pseudo-PDE} with generator $a$ for which we introduce a notion of so called {\it decoupled mild} solution and study the equivalence with the notion of martingale solution introduced in a companion paper. We also investigate well-posedness for decoupled mild solutions and their relations with a special class of BSDEs without driving martingale. The notion of decoupled mild solution is a good candidate to replace the notion of viscosity solution which is not always suitable when the map $a$ is not a PDE operator.

Martingale driven BSDEs, PDEs and other related deterministic problems

We focus on a class of BSDEs driven by a cadlag martingale and corresponding Markov type BSDE which arise when the randomness of the driver appears through a Markov process. To those BSDEs we associate a deterministic problem which, when the Markov process is a Brownian diffusion, is nothing else but a parabolic type PDE. The solution of the deterministic problem is intended as decoupled mild solution, and it is formulated with the help of a time-inhomogeneous semigroup.

G{â}teaux type path-dependent PDEs and BSDEs with Gaussian forward processes

We are interested in path-dependent semilinear PDEs, where the derivatives are of G{â}teaux type in specific directions k and b, being the kernel functions of a Volterra Gaussian process X. Under some conditions on k, b and the coefficients of the PDE, we prove existence and uniqueness of a decoupled mild solution, a notion introduced in a previous paper by the authors. We also show that the solution of the PDE can be represented through BSDEs where the forward (underlying) process is X.

Path-dependent Martingale Problems and Additive Functionals

The paper introduces and investigates the natural extension to the path-dependent setup of the usual concept of canonical Markov class introduced by Dynkin and which is at the basis of the theory of Markov processes. That extension, indexed by starting paths rather than starting points will be called path-dependent canonical class. Associated with this is the generalization of the notions of semi-group and of additive functionals to the path-dependent framework. A typical example of such family is constituted by the laws $({\mathbb P}^{s,$η$})\_{(s,η) \in{\mathbb R} \times Ω}$ , where for fixed time s and fixed path $η$ defined on [0, s], $({\mathbb P}^{s,$η$})\_{(s,η) \in {\mathbb R} \times Ω}$ being the (unique) solution of a path-dependent martingale problem or more specifically a weak solution of a path-dependent SDE with jumps, with initial path $η$. In a companion paper we apply those results to study path-dependent analysis problems associated with BSDEs.

Decoupled mild solutions of path-dependent PDEs and IPDEsrepresented by BSDEs driven by cadlag martingales

We focus on a class of path-dependent problems which include path-dependent (possibly Integro) PDEs, and their representation via BSDEs driven by a cadlag martingale. For those equations we introduce the notion of decoupled mild solution for which, under general assumptions, we study existence and uniqueness and its representation via the afore mentioned BSDEs. This concept generalizes a similar notion introduced by the authors in previous papers in the framework of classical PDEs and IPDEs. For every initial condition (s, $η$), where s is an initial time and $η$ an initial path, the solution of such BSDE produces a couple of processes (Y s,$η$ , Z s,$η$). In the classical (Markovian or not) literature the function u(s, $η$) := Y s,$η$ s constitutes a viscosity type solution of an associated PDE (resp. IPDE); our approach allows not only to identify u as (in our language) the unique decoupled mild solution, but also to solve quite generally the so called identification problem, i.e. to also characterize the (Z s,$η$) s,$η$ processes in term of a deterministic function v associated to the (above decoupled mild) solution u.

Backward Stochastic Differential Equations with no driving martingale, Markov processes and associated Pseudo Partial Differential Equations

We discuss a class of Backward Stochastic Differential Equations(BSDEs) with no driving martingale. When the randomness of the driver depends on a general Markov process $X$, those BSDEs are denominated Markovian BSDEs and can be associated to a deterministic problem,called Pseudo-PDE which constitute the natural generalization of a parabolicsemilinear PDE which naturally appears when the underlying filtration is Brownian. We consider two aspects of well-posedness forthe Pseudo-PDEs: "classical" and "martingale" solutions.

A note on time-dependent additive functionals

This note develops shortly the theory of time-inhomogeneous additive functionals and is a useful support for the analysis of time-dependent Markov processes and related topics. It is a significant tool for the analysis of BSDEs in law. In particular we extend to a non-homogeneous setup some results concerning the quadratic variation and the angular bracket of Martin-gale Additive Functionals (in short MAF) associated to a homogeneous Markov processes.
