文摘We establish a new type of backward stochastic differential equations(BSDEs)connected with stochastic differential games(SDGs), namely, BSDEs strongly coupled with the lower and the upper value functions of SDGs, where the lower and the upper value functions are defined through this BSDE. The existence and the uniqueness theorem and comparison theorem are proved for such equations with the help of an iteration method. We also show that the lower and the upper value functions satisfy the dynamic programming principle. Moreover, we study the associated Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman-Isaacs(HJB-Isaacs)equations, which are nonlocal, and strongly coupled with the lower and the upper value functions.
