Well-posedness of quadratic RBSDEs and BSDEs with one-sided growth restrictions

In this paper, we investigate the well-posedness of bounded and unbounded solutions for reflected backward stochastic differential equations (RBSDEs) and backward stochastic differential equations (BSDEs). The generators of these equations satisfy a one-sided growth restriction on the variable $y$ and have a general quadratic growth in the variable $z$. The solutions $Y_t$ (and the obstacles for RBSDEs) take values in either $\mathbf{R}$ or $(0, \infty)$. We obtain the existence of solutions primarily by using the methods from Essaky and Hassani (2011) and Bahlali et al. (2017). For the uniqueness of solutions, we provide a method applicable when the generators are convex in $(y,z)$ or are (locally) Lipschitz in $y$ and convex in $z$. Our method relies on the $θ$-difference technique introduced by Briand and Hu (2008), and some novel comparison arguments based on RBSDEs. We also establish some general comparison theorems for such RBSDEs and BSDEs.

Representation theorems for dynamic convex risk measures

In this paper, we prove that under the domination condition: \begin{equation*} {\cal{E}}^{-μ,-ν}[-ξ|{\cal{F}}_t]\leqρ_t(ξ)\leq{\cal{E}}^{μ,ν}[-ξ|{\cal{F}}_t],\quad \forallξ\in \mathcal{L}^{\exp}_T\ (\text{resp.}\ L^2(\mathcal{F}_T)),\ \forall t\in[0,T], \end{equation*} where ${\cal{E}}^{μ,ν}$ is the $g$-expectation with generator $μ|z|+ν|z|^2, μ\geq0, ν\geq0$, the dynamic convex (resp. coherent) risk measure $ρ$ admits a representation as a $g$-expectation, whose generator $g$ is convex (resp. sublinear) in the variable $z$ and has a quadratic (resp. linear) growth. As an application, we show that such dynamic convex (resp. coherent) risk measure $ρ$ admits a dual representation, where the penalty term (resp. the set of probability measures) is characterized by the corresponding generator $g$.

A class of quadratic reflected BSDEs with singular coefficients

In this paper, we study the existence and uniqueness of the solution to a reflected backward stochastic differential equation (RBSDE) with the generator $g(t,y,z)=G_f^F(t,y,z)+f(y)|z|^2$, where $f(y)$ is a locally integrable function defined on an open interval $D$, and $G_f^F(t,y,z)$ is induced by $f$ and a Lipschitz continuous function $F$. Both the solution $Y_t$ and the obstacle $L_t$ of this RBSDE take values in $D$. As applications, we provide a probabilistic interpretation of an obstacle problem for a quadratic PDE with a singular term, whose solution takes values in $D$, and study an optimal stopping problem for the payoff of American options under general utilities.

On $g$-expectations and filtration-consistent nonlinear expectations

In this paper, we obtain a comparison theorem and a invariant representation theorem for backward stochastic differential equations (BSDEs) without any assumption on the second variable $z$. Using the two results, we further develop the theory of $g$-expectations. Filtration-consistent nonlinear expectation (${\cal{F}}$-expectation) provides an ideal characterization for the dynamical risk measures, asset pricing and utilities. We propose two new conditions: an absolutely continuous condition and a (locally Lipschitz) domination condition. Under the two conditions respectively, we prove that any ${\cal{F}}$-expectation can be represented as a $g$-expectation. Our results contain a representation theorem for $n$-dimensional ${\cal{F}}$-expectations in the Lipschitz case, and two representation theorems for $1$-dimensional ${\cal{F}}$-expectations in the locally Lipschitz case, which contain quadratic ${\cal{F}}$-expectations.

On the backward stochastic differential equation with generator $f(y)|z|^2$

In this paper, we consider the backward stochastic differential equation (BSDE) with generator $f(y)|z|^2,$ where the function $f$ is defined on an open interval $D$ and locally integrable. The existence and uniqueness of bounded solutions and $L^p(p\geq1)$ solutions of such BSDEs are obtained. Some comparison theorems and a converse comparison theorem of such BSDEs are established. As an application, we give a probabilistic interpretation of viscosity solution of quadratic PDEs.

BSDEs and SDEs with time-advanced and -delayed coefficients

This paper introduces a class of backward stochastic differential equations (BSDEs), whose coefficients not only depend on the value of its solutions of the present but also the past and the future. For a sufficiently small time delay or a sufficiently small Lipschitz constant, the existence and uniqueness of such BSDEs is obtained. As an adjoint process, a class of stochastic differential equations (SDEs) is introduced, whose coefficients also depend on the present, the past and the future of its solutions. The existence and uniqueness of such SDEs is proved for a sufficiently small time advance or a sufficiently small Lipschitz constant. A duality between such BSDEs and SDEs is established.

Representation theorems for generators of Reflected BSDEs with continuous and linear-growth generators

In this paper, we establish a local representation theorem for generators of reflected backward stochastic differential equations (RBSDE), whose generators are continuous with linear growth. It generalizes some known representation theorems for generators of backward stochastic differential equations (BSDE). As some applications, a general converse comparison theorem for RBSDE is obtained and some properties of RBSDE are discussed.

On the representation for dynamically consistent nonlinear evaluations: uniformly continuous case

A system of dynamically consistent nonlinear evaluation (${\cal{F}}$-evaluation) provides an ideal characterization for the dynamical behaviors of risk measures and the pricing of contingent claims. The purpose of this paper is to study the representation for the ${\cal{F}}$-evaluation by the solution of a backward stochastic differential equation (BSDE). Under a general domination condition, we prove that any ${\cal{F}}$-evaluation can be represented by the solution of a BSDE with a generator which is Lipschitz in $y$ and uniformly continuous in $z$.

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.
