In this paper, we establish an analytic framework for studying set-valued backward stochastic differential equations (set-valued BSDE), motivated largely by the current studies of dynamic set-valued risk measures for multi-asset or network-based financial models. Our framework will make use of the notion of Hukuhara difference between sets, in order to compensate the lack of "inverse" operation of the traditional Minkowski addition, whence the vector space structure in set-valued analysis. While proving the well-posedness of a class of set-valued BSDEs, we shall also address some fundamental issues regarding generalized Aumann-Itô integrals, especially when it is connected to the martingale representation theorem. In particular, we propose some necessary extensions of the integral that can be used to represent set-valued martingales with non-singleton initial values. This extension turns out to be essential for the study of set-valued BSDEs.
The overarching goal of this paper is to establish a set-valued Itô's formula. As an application, we obtain the existence and uniqueness of solutions for the general set-valued backward stochastic differential equation which gives an answer to an open question proposed by Ararat et al. (C. Ararat, J. Ma and W.Q. Wu, Set-valued backward stochastic differential equation, arXiv:2007.15073).
Suppose $N$ is a compact Riemannian manifold, in this paper we will introduce the definition of $N$-valued BSDE and $L^2(\mathbb{T}^m;N)$-valued BSDE for which the solution are not necessarily staying in only one local coordinate. Moreover, the global existence of a solution to $L^2(\mathbb{T}^m;N)$-valued BSDE will be proved without any convexity condition on $N$.
Scalar dynamic risk measures for univariate positions in continuous time are commonly represented as backward stochastic differential equations. In the multivariate setting, dynamic risk measures have been defined and studied as families of set-valued functionals in the recent literature. There are two possible extensions of scalar backward stochastic differential equations for the set-valued framework: (1) backward stochastic differential inclusions, which evaluate the risk dynamics on the selectors of acceptable capital allocations; or (2) set-valued backward stochastic differential equation…
In this paper, we consider the Cauchy problem of semi-linear degenerate backward stochastic partial differential equations (BSPDEs in short) under general settings without technical assumptions on the coefficients. For the solution of semi-linear degenerate BSPDE, we first give a proof for its existence and uniqueness, as well as regularity. Then the connection between semi-linear degenerate BSPDEs and forward backward stochastic differential equations (FBSDEs in short) is established, which can be regarded as an extension of Feynman-Kac formula to non-Markov frame.
Connections between a system of Forward-Backward SDEs and Backward Stochastic PDEs related to the utility maximiza- tion problem is established. Besides, we derive another version of FBSDE of the same problem and prove an existence of a solution
This paper is concerned with the switching game of a one-dimensional backward stochastic differential equation (BSDE). The associated Bellman-Isaacs equation is a system of matrix-valued BSDEs living in a special unbounded convex domain with reflection on the boundary along an oblique direction. In this paper, we show the existence of an adapted solution to this system of BSDEs with oblique reflection by the penalization method, the monotone convergence, and the a priori estimates.
We define fully coupled forward-backward stochastic differential equations on spaces related to continuous time, finite state Markov Chains. Existence and uniqueness results of the fully coupled forward-backward stochastic differential equations on Markov Chains are obtained.
This paper extends the idea of E.Gobet, J.P.Lemor and X.Warin from the setting of Backward Stochastic Differential Equations to that of Backward Doubly Stochastic Differential equations. We propose some numerical approximation scheme of these equations introduced by E.Pardoux and S.Peng.
In this paper, by virtue of Malliavin calculus, we establish a relationship between backward doubly stochastic differential equations with random coefficients and quasilinear stochastic PDEs, and thus extend the well-known nonlinear stochastic Feynman-Kac formula of Pardoux and Peng [14] to non-Markovian case.
In this paper, we study backward doubly stochastic integral equations of the Volterra type (BDSIEVs in short). Under uniform Lipschitz assumptions, we establish an existence and uniqueness result.
In this paper, we consider the fully coupled forward-backward stochastic functional differential equations (FBSFDEs) with stochastic functional differential equations as the forward equations and the generalized anticipated backward stochastic differential equations as the backward equations. We will prove the existence and uniqueness theorem for FBSFDEs. As an application, we deal with a quadratic optimal control problem for functional stochastic systems, and get the explicit form of the optimal control by virtue of FBSFDEs.
This paper is devoted to study the asymptotic properties for the solution of decoupled forward backward stochastic differential equations with delayed generator. As an application, we establish a large deviation principe for solution of the backward equation.
We prove an existence and uniqueness result for generalized backward doubly stochastic differential equations driven by Lévy processes with non-Lipschitz assumptions.
We study reflected solutions of one-dimensional backward doubly stochastic differential equations (BDSDEs in short). The "reflected" keeps the solution above a given stochastic process. We get the uniqueness and existence by penalization. For the existence of backward stochastic integral, our proof is different from [KKPPQ] slightly. We also obtain a comparison theorem for reflected BDSDEs.
We prove the existence of the unique solution of a general Backward Stochastic Differential Equation with quadratic growth driven by martingales. Some kind of comparison theorem is also proved.
We study the well solvability of nonlinear backward stochastic evolutionary equations driven by a space-time white noise. We first establish a novel a priori estimate for solution of linear backward stochastic evolutionary equations, and then give an existence and uniqueness result for nonlinear backward stochastic evolutionary equations. A dual argument plays a crucial role in the proof of these results. Finally, an example is given to illustrate the existence and uniqueness result.
Existence and uniqueness results of fully coupled forward stochastic differential equations without drifts and backward stochastic differential equations in a degenerate case are obtained for an arbitrarily large time duration.
The connection between forward backward doubly stochastic differential equations and the optimal filtering problem is established without using the Zakai's equation. The solutions of forward backward doubly stochastic differential equations are expressed in terms of conditional law of a partially observed Markov diffusion process. It then follows that the adjoint time-inverse forward backward doubly stochastic differential equations governs the evolution of the unnormalized filtering density in the optimal filtering problem.
Under quasi-monotone assumptions for coefficients, we show one kind of comparison theorem for multi-dimensional\textbf{\}backward doubly stochastic differential equations on infinite horizon. An example is given as well.
In this paper, a class of non-Markovian forward-backward doubly stochastic systems is studied. By using the technique of functional Itô (or path-dependent) calculus, the relationship between the systems and related path-dependent quasi-linear stochastic partial differential equations (SPDEs in short) is established, and the well-known nonlinear stochastic Feynman-Kac formula of Pardoux and Peng [Backward doubly stochastic differential equations and systems of quasilinear SPDEs, Probab. Theory Relat. Fields 98 (1994), pp. 209--227] is developed to the non-Markovian situation. Moreover, we obtai…
In this paper, a class of generalized backward doubly stochastic differential equations whose coefficient contains the subdifferential operators of two convex functions (also called generalized backward doubly stochastic variational inequalities) are considered. By means of a penalization argument based on Yosida approximation, we establish the existence and uniqueness of the solution. As an application, this result is used to derive existence result of stochastic viscosity solution for a class of multivalued stochastic Dirichlet-Neumann problems.
In this paper, we deal with a class of one-dimensional reflected backward doubly stochastic differential equations with one continuous lower barrier. We derive the existence and uniqueness of solutions for these equations with Lipschitz coefficients.
This paper is devoted to study different type of BSDE with delayed generator. We first establish an existence and uniqueness result under delayed Lipschitz condition for non homogenous backward stochastic differential equation with delayed generator. Next, existence and uniqueness result for general fully coupled forward backward stochastic differential equation with delayed coefficients has been derived.
We study the existence of a unique solution to semilinear fractional backward doubly stochastic differential equation driven by a Brownian motion and a fractional Brownian motion with Hurst parameter less than 1/2. Here the stochastic integral with respect to the fractional Brownian motion is the extended divergence operator and the one with respect to Brownian motion is Itô's backward integral. For this we use the technique developed by R.Buckdahn to analyze stochastic differential equations on the Wiener space, which is based on the Girsanov theorem and the Malliavin calculus, and we reduce …
We first state a special type of Itô formula involving stochastic integrals of both standard and fractional Brownian motions. Then we use Doss-Sussman transformation to establish the link between backward doubly stochastic differential equations, driven by both standard and fractional Brownian motions, and backward stochastic differential equations, driven only by standard Brownian motions. Following the same technique, we further study associated nonlinear stochastic partial differential equations driven by fractional Brownian motions and partial differential equations with stochastic coeffic…
In this paper, we deal with a class of multivalued backward doubly stochastic differential equations with time delayed coefficients. Based on a slight extension of the existence and uniqueness of solutions for backward doubly stochastic differential equations with time delayed coefficients, we establish the existence and uniqueness of solutions for these equations by means of Yosida approximation.
We define some approximation schemes for different kinds of generalized backward stochastic differential systems, considered in the Markovian framework. We propose a mixed approximation scheme for a decoupled system of forward reflected SDE and backward stochastic variational inequality. We use an Euler scheme type, combined with Yosida approximation techniques.
We propose to study a new type of Backward stochastic differential equations driven by a family of Itô's processes. We prove existence and uniqueness of the solution, and investigate stability and comparison theorem.
By the methods of probability and duality technique, we give some comparison theorems for the solutions of infinite horizon forward-backwad stochastic differential equations.
In this paper we study reflected backward stochastic differential equations with a continuous, linear growth coefficient and two barriers which belong to L^2. We prove that there exists at least by penalization method.
It is known that Markovian forward-backward stochastic differential equations provide nonlinear Feynman-Kac representation formulae for semilinear parabolic PDEs. We show that non-Markovian forward-backward stochastic differential equations provide nonlinear Feynman-Kac formulae for semilinear path-dependent PDEs. This extends the result proved in Ekren, Keller, Touzi, and Zhang [4] to the case with a possibly degenerate diffusion coefficient in the forward dynamics.
In this paper we investigate classical solution of a semi-linear system of backward stochastic integral partial differential equations driven by a Brownian motion and a Poisson point process. By proving an Itô-Wentzell formula for jump diffusions as well as an abstract result of stochastic evolution equations, we obtain the stochastic integral partial differential equation for the inverse of the stochastic flow generated by a stochastic differential equation driven by a Brownian motion and a Poisson point process. By composing the random field generated by the solution of a backward stochastic…
The aim of the present paper is to study the regularity properties of the solution of a backward stochastic differential equation with a monotone generator in infinite dimension. We show some applications to the nonlinear Kolmogorov equation and to stochastic optimal control.
In this paper, we prove that there exists at least one solution for the reflected forward-backward stochastic differential equation driven by G-Brownian motion satisfying the obstacle constraint with monotone coefficients.
We prove via a direct fixpoint argument the well-posedness of backward stochastic differential equations containing an additional drift driven by a path of finite $p$-variation with $p \in [1,2)$. An application to the Feynman-Kac representation of semilinear rough partial differential equations is given.

We obtain the existence and uniqueness theorem and a comparison theorem for solutions of one-dimensional mean-field BSDEs under Lipschitz condition.
In this note, we study one-dimensional reflected backward doubly stochastic differential equations (RBDSDEs) with one continuous barrier and discontinuous generator (left-or right-continuous). By a comparison theorem establish here for RBDSDEs, we provide a minimal or a maximal solution to RBDSDEs
In this paper, we consider coupled forward-backward stochastic differential equations (FBSDEs in short) with parameter $\varepsilon >0$. We study the asymptotic behavior of its solutions and establish a large deviation principle for the corresponding processes.
The purpose of this note is to provide an existence result for the solution of fully coupled Forward Backward Stochastic Differential Equations (FBSDEs) of the mean field type. These equations occur in the study of mean field games and the optimal control of dynamics of the McKean Vlasov type.

In this paper we study different algorithms for reflected backward stochastic differential equations (BSDE in short) with two continuous barriers basing on random work framework. We introduce different numerical algorithms by penalization method and reflected method. At last simulation results are also presented.
In this paper, we consider the stochastic optimal control problems under G-expectation. Based on the theory of backward stochastic differential equations driven by G-Brownian motion, which was introduced in [10.11], we can investigate the more general stochastic optimal control problems under G-expectation than that were constructed in [28]. Then we obtain a generalized dynamic programming principle and the value function is proved to be a viscosity solution of a fully nonlinear second-order partial differential equation.
In this paper, we deal with a class of backward doubly stochastic differential equations (BDSDEs, in short) involving subdifferential operator of a convex function and driven by Teugels martingales associated with a Lévy process. We show the existence and uniqueness result by means of Yosida approximation. As an application, we give the existence of stochastic viscosity solution for a class of multivalued stochastic partial differential-integral equations (MSPIDEs, in short).
In this paper, a probabilistic interpretation for the viscosity solution of a parabolic partial differential equation is obtained by virtue of the solution of a class of quadratic backward stochastic differential equations (BSDEs, for short). Furthermore, we prove the convergence and the large deviation principle for the solution of this class of quadratic BSDEs, which is associated with a family of Markov processes with the diffusion coefficients that tend to be zero.
In this paper, we provide an estimate for the solutions of reflected backward stochastic differential equations (RBSDEs) driven by a Markov chain, derive a continuous dependence property for their solutions with respect to the parameters of the equations, and show similar properties for solutions of backward stochastic differential equations (BSDEs). We finally establish a comparison result for the solutions of RBSDEs driven by a Markov chain.
This note aims to give an explicit solution for backward stochastic Volterra integral equations with linear time delayed generators. The process $Y$ is expressed by an integral whose kernel is explicitly given. The processes $Z$ is expressed by Hida-Malliavin derivatives involving $Y$.
In this paper, we deal with one dimensional backward doubly stochastic differential equations (BDSDEs) where the coefficient is left Lipschitz in y (may be discontinuous) and uniformly continuous in z. We obtain a generalized comparison theorem and a generalized existence theorem of BDSDEs .
By using the Skorohod equation we derive an iteration procedure which allows us to solve a class of reflected backward stochastic differential equations with non-linear resistance induced by the reflected local time. In particular, we present a new method to study the reflected BSDE proposed first by El Karoui et al. \cite{MR1434123}.
Backward stochastic differential equations (BSDEs) belong nowadays to the most frequently studied equations in stochastic analysis and computational stochastics. In this paper we prove that Picard iterations of BSDEs with globally Lipschitz continuous nonlinearities converge exponentially fast to the solution. Our main result in this paper is to establish a fundamental lemma to prove the global existence and uniqueness of an adapted solution to a singular backward stochastic nonlinear Volterra integral equation (for short singular BSVIE) of order $α\in (\frac{1}{2},1)$ under a weaker condition…
For backward stochastic Volterra integral equations (BSVIEs) in multi-dimensional Euclidean spaces, comparison theorems are established in a systematic way for the adapted solutions and adapted M-solutions. For completeness, comparison theorems for (forward) stochastic differential equations, backward stochastic differential equations, and (forward) stochastic Volterra integral equations (FSVIEs) are also presented. Duality principles are used in some relevant proofs. Also, it is found that certain kind of monotonicity conditions play crucial roles to guarantee the comparison theorems for FSVI…
Comparison and converse comparison theorems are important parts of the research on backward stochastic differential equations. In this paper, we obtain comparison results for one dimensional backward stochastic differential equations with Markov chain noise, extending and generalizing previous work under natural and simplified hypotheses, and establish a converse comparison theorem for the same type of equation after giving the definition and properties of a type of nonlinear expectation: $f$-expectation.
We present an explicit solution triplet $(Y, Z, K)$ to the backward stochastic Volterra integral equation (BSVIE) of linear type, driven by a Brownian motion and a compensated Poisson random measure. The process $Y$ is expressed by an integral whose kernel is explicitly given. The processes $Z$ and $K$ are expressed by Hida-Malliavin derivatives involving $Y$.
This work deals with the numerical approximation of backward stochastic differential equations (BSDEs). We propose a new algorithm which is based on the regression-later approach and the least squares Monte Carlo method. We give some conditions under which our numerical algorithm convergences and solve two practical experiments to illustrate its performance.
