Although its development and application is far behind Forward Stochastic Differential Equation, its wide application prospect on financial mathematics gets more and more attention. The meaning of Backward Stochastic Differential Equation is that change a already-known final (usually uncertain) goal into a present certain answer to make a present resolution. But Insurance Pricing happens to know the final result, it' s certain that the result is uncertain, that is to say, to get out of danger or not. And then make present insurance price according to the future uncertain result. The Insurance Pricing just follows the meaning of Backward Stochastic Differential Equation. Insurance Pricing itself is also a research field sprang up in past scores of years, because insurance pricing is the indisputable core of insurance work, and gets quite a few researchers' attention. This article adopts backward stochastic differential equation theory and do research on problem about technology insurance pricing.展开更多

This new type of PDEs are formulated through a classical BSDE in which the terminal values and the generators are allowed to be general function of Brownian motion paths. In this way, we establish the nonlinear Feynman- Kac formula for a general non-Markoviau BSDE. Some main properties of solutions of this new PDEs are also obtained.展开更多

It is proved that if two FBDSDEs are linked by a bridge, then they have the same unique solvability. Consequently, by constructing appropriate bridges, we obtain several classes of uniquely solvable FBDSDEs. Finally, the probabilistie interpretation for the solutions to a class of quasilinear stochastic partial differential equations (SPDEs) combined with algebra equations is given. One distinctive character of this result is that the forward component of the FBDSDEs is coupled with the backvzard variable.展开更多

Based on the existence and uniqueness of the solutions of these SDEs and multi-dimensional backward stochastic differential equations (BSDEs) driven by Levy pro- cesses, the authors proceed to study a stochastic linear quadratic (LQ) optimal control problem with a Levy process, where the cost weighting matrices of the state and control are allowed to be indefinite. One kind of new stochastic Riccati equation that involves equality and inequality constraints is derived from the idea of square completion and its solvability is proved to be sufficient for the well-posedness and the existence of optimal control which can be of either state feedback or open-loop form of the LQ problems. Moreover, the authors obtain the existence and uniqueness of the solution to the Riccati equation for some special cases. Finally, two examples are presented to illustrate these theoretical results.展开更多

The probabilistic interpretation for the solutions to a class of quasilinear stochastic partial differential-integral equations (SPDIEs) is treated with BDSDEP.

The price is determined by two optimal stochastic control problems(mixed with optimal stopping time in the case of American option) of forward-backward stochastic differential equations.By means of backward stochastic differential equation and partial differential equation methods, we show that both bid and ask prices are closely related to the Black-Scholes risk-neutral price with modified dividend rates.The two prices will actually coincide with each other if there is no trading constraint or the model uncertainty disappears. Finally, two applications to European option and American option are discussed.展开更多
