Stopping Times and Related Itô's Calculus with G-Brownian Motion

Under the framework of G-expectation and G-Brownian motion, we introduce Itô's integral for stochastic processes without assuming quasi-continuity. Then we can obtain Itô's integral on stopping time interval. This new formulation permits us to obtain Itô's formula for a general C^{1,2}-function, which essentially generalizes the previous results of Peng [20, 21, 22, 23, 24] as well as those of Gao [8] and Zhang et al. [26].

Maximum principle for viscosity solutions on Riemannian manifolds

In this work we consider viscosity solutions to second order partial differential equations on Riemannian manifolds. We prove maximum principles for solutions to Dirichlet problem on a compact Riemannian manifold with boundary. Using a different method, we generalize maximum principles of Omori and Yau to a viscosity version.

Nonlinear Expectations and Stochastic Calculus under Uncertainty

In this book, we introduce a new approach of sublinear expectation to deal with the problem of probability and distribution model uncertainty. We a new type of (robust) normal distributions and the related central limit theorem under sublinear expectation. We also present a new type of Brownian motion under sublinear expectations and the related stochastic calculus of Ito's type. The results provide robust tools for the problem of probability model uncertainty arising from financial risk management, statistics and stochastic controls.

Function spaces and capacity related to a Sublinear Expectation: application to G-Brownian Motion Pathes

In this paper we give some basic and important properties of several typical Banach spaces of functions of $G$-Brownian motion pathes induced by a sublinear expectation--G-expectation. Many results can be also applied to more general situations. A generalized version of Kolmogorov's criterion for continuous modification of a stochastic process is also obtained. The results can be applied to continuous time dynamic and coherent risk measures in finance in particular for path-dependence risky positions under situations of volatility model uncertainty.

G-Lévy Processes under Sublinear Expectations

We introduce G-Lévy processes which develop the theory of processes with independent and stationary increments under the framework of sublinear expectations. We then obtain the Lévy-Khintchine formula and the existence for G-Lévy processes. We also introduce G-Poisson processes.

BSDEs with random default time and their applications to default risk

In this paper we are concerned with backward stochastic differential equations with random default time and their applications to default risk. The equations are driven by Brownian motion as well as a mutually independent martingale appearing in a defaultable setting. We show that these equations have unique solutions and a comparison theorem for their solutions. As an application, we get a saddle-point strategy for the related zero-sum stochastic differential game problem.

Mean-field backward stochastic differential equations: A limit approach

Mathematical mean-field approaches play an important role in different fields of Physics and Chemistry, but have found in recent works also their application in Economics, Finance and Game Theory. The objective of our paper is to investigate a special mean-field problem in a purely stochastic approach: for the solution $(Y,Z)$ of a mean-field backward stochastic differential equation driven by a forward stochastic differential of McKean--Vlasov type with solution $X$ we study a special approximation by the solution $(X^N,Y^N,Z^N)$ of some decoupled forward--backward equation which coefficients are governed by $N$ independent copies of $(X^N,Y^N,Z^N)$. We show that the convergence speed of this approximation is of order $1/\sqrt{N}$. Moreover, our special choice of the approximation allows to characterize the limit behavior of $\sqrt{N}(X^N-X,Y^N-Y,Z^N-Z)$. We prove that this triplet converges in law to the solution of some forward--backward stochastic differential equation of mean-field type, which is not only governed by a Brownian motion but also by an independent Gaussian field.

Anticipated backward stochastic differential equations

In this paper we discuss new types of differential equations which we call anticipated backward stochastic differential equations (anticipated BSDEs). In these equations the generator includes not only the values of solutions of the present but also the future. We show that these anticipated BSDEs have unique solutions, a comparison theorem for their solutions, and a duality between them and stochastic differential delay equations.

On the Representation Theorem of G-Expectations and Paths of G--Brownian Motion

We give a very simple and elementary proof of the existence of a weakly compact family of probability measures $\{P_θ:θ\in Θ\}$ to represent an important sublinear expectation--G-expectation $\mathbb{E}[\cdot]$. We also give a concrete approximation of a bounded continuous function $X(ω)$ by an increasing sequence of cylinder functions $L_{ip}(Ω)$ in order to prove that $C_{b}(Ω)$ belongs to the $\mathbb{E}[|\cdot|]$-completion of the $L_{ip}(Ω)$.

Constrained BSDE and Viscosity Solutions of Variation Inequalities

In this paper, we study the relation between the smallest $g$-supersolution of constraint backward stochastic differential equation and viscosity solution of constraint semilineare parabolic PDE, i.e. variation inequalities. And we get an existence result of variation inequalities via constraint BSDE, and prove a uniqueness result under certain condition.

Reflected BSDE with a Constraint and a New Doob-Meyer Nonlinear Decomposition

In this paper, we study a type of reflected BSDE with a constraint and introduce a new kind of nonlinear expectation via BSDE with a constraint and prove the Doob-Meyer decomposition with respect to the super(sub)martingale introduced by this nonlinear expectation. We then apply the results to the pricing of American options in incomplete market.

A New Central Limit Theorem under Sublinear Expectations

We describe a new framework of a sublinear expectation space and the related notions and results of distributions, independence. A new notion of G-distributions is introduced which generalizes our G-normal-distribution in the sense that mean-uncertainty can be also described. W present our new result of central limit theorem under sublinear expectation. This theorem can be also regarded as a generalization of the law of large number in the case of mean-uncertainty.

G-Brownian Motion and Dynamic Risk Measure under Volatility Uncertainty

We introduce a new notion of G-normal distributions. This will bring us to a new framework of stochastic calculus of Ito's type (Ito's integral, Ito's formula, Ito's equation) through the corresponding G-Brownian motion. We will also present analytical calculations and some new statistical methods with application to risk analysis in finance under volatility uncertainty. Our basic point of view is: sublinear expectation theory is very like its special situation of linear expectation in the classical probability theory. Under a sublinear expectation space we still can introduce the notion of distributions, of random variables, as well as the notions of joint distributions, marginal distributions, etc. A particularly interesting phenomenon in sublinear situations is that a random variable Y is independent to X does not automatically implies that X is independent to Y. Two important theorems have been proved: The law of large number and the central limit theorem.

Mean-Field Backward Stochastic Differential Equations and Related Partial Differential Equations

In [5] the authors obtained Mean-Field backward stochastic differential equations (BSDE) associated with a Mean-field stochastic differential equation (SDE) in a natural way as limit of some highly dimensional system of forward and backward SDEs, corresponding to a large number of ``particles'' (or ``agents''). The objective of the present paper is to deepen the investigation of such Mean-Field BSDEs by studying them in a more general framework, with general driver, and to discuss comparison results for them. In a second step we are interested in partial differential equations (PDE) whose solutions can be stochastically interpreted in terms of Mean-Field BSDEs. For this we study a Mean-Field BSDE in a Markovian framework, associated with a Mean-Field forward equation. By combining classical BSDE methods, in particular that of ``backward semigroups" introduced by Peng [14], with specific arguments for Mean-Field BSDEs we prove that this Mean-Field BSDE describes the viscosity solution of a nonlocal PDE. The uniqueness of this viscosity solution is obtained for the space of continuous functions with polynomial growth. With the help of an example it is shown that for the nonlocal PDEs associated to Mean-Field BSDEs one cannot expect to have uniqueness in a larger space of continuous functions.
