文摘The paper is directly motivated by the pricing of vulnerable European and American options in a general hazard process setup and a related study of the corresponding pre-default backward stochastic differential equations(BSDE)and pre-default reflected backward stochastic differential equations(RBSDE).The goal of this work is twofold.First,we aim to establish the well-posedness results and comparison theorems for a generalized BSDE and a reflected generalized BSDE with a continuous and nondecreasing driver A.Second,we study penalization schemes for a generalized BSDE and a reflected generalized BSDE in which we penalize against the driver in order to obtain in the limit either a constrained optimal stopping problem or a constrained Dynkin game in which the set of minimizer's admissible exercise times is constrained to the right support of the measure generated by A.
