Well-Posedness of Generalized Mean-Reflected McKean-Vlasov Backward Stochastic Differential Equations

This paper investigates a class of generalized mean-reflected McKean-Vlasov type backward stochastic differential equations (BSDEs). Our new framework combines a mean reflection constraint on the solution's expectation with a generalized integral with respect to a continuous non-decreasing process. We establish the existence and uniqueness of the solution. The uniqueness is derived via stability estimates, while the existence is proved by employing a penalization method combined with a smooth approximation of the obstacle.

Multi-dimensional reflected McKean-Vlasov BSDEs with the obstacle depending on both the first unknown and its distribution

The paper studies a multi-dimensional mean-field reflected backward stochastic differential equation (MF-RBSDE) with a reflection constraint depending on both the value process $Y$ and its distribution $[Y]$. We establish the existence, uniqueness and the stability of the solution of MF-RBSDE. We also investigate the associated interacting particle systems of RBSDEs and prove a propagation of chaos result. Lastly, we investigate the relationship between MF-RBSDE and an obstacle problem for partial differential equations in Wasserstein space within a Markovian framework. Our work provides a connection between the work of Briand et al. (2020) on BSDEs with normal reflection in law and the work of Gegout-Petit and Pardoux (1996) on classical multi-dimensional RBSDEs.
