MULTI-DIMENSIONAL REFLECTED BACKWARD STOCHASTIC DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS AND THE COMPARISON THEOREM

In this article, we study the multi-dimensional reflected backward stochastic differential equations. The existence and uniqueness result of the solution for this kind of equation is proved by the fixed point argument where every element of the solution is forced to stay above the given stochastic process, i.e., multi-dimensional obstacle, respectively. We also give a kind of multi-dimensional comparison theorem for the reflected BSDE and then use it as the tool to prove an existence result for the multi-dimensional reflected BSDE where the coefficient is continuous and has linear growth.

GENERAL COUPLED MEAN-FIELD REFLECTED FORWARD-BACKWARD STOCHASTIC DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS

In this paper we consider general coupled mean-field reflected forward-backward stochastic differential equations(FBSDEs),whose coefficients not only depend on the solution but also on the law of the solution.The first part of the paper is devoted to the existence and the uniqueness of solutions for such general mean-field reflected backward stochastic differential equations(BSDEs)under Lipschitz conditions,and for the one-dimensional case a comparison theorem is studied.With the help of this comparison result,we prove the existence of the solution for our mean-field reflected forward-backward stochastic differential equation under continuity assumptions.It should be mentioned that,under appropriate assumptions,we prove the uniqueness of this solution as well as that of a comparison theorem for mean-field reflected FBSDEs in a non-trivial manner.

On existence and uniqueness of solutions to uncertain backward stochastic differential equations

This paper is concerned with a class of uncertain backward stochastic differential equations （UBSDEs） driven by both an m-dimensional Brownian motion and a d-dimensional canonical process with uniform Lipschitzian coefficients. Such equations can be useful in mod- elling hybrid systems, where the phenomena are simultaneously subjected to two kinds of un- certainties： randomness and uncertainty. The solutions of UBSDEs are the uncertain stochastic processes. Thus, the existence and uniqueness of solutions to UBSDEs with Lipschitzian coeffi- cients are proved.

Research on problem about technology insurance pricing based on backward stochastic differential equation theory

The development of Backward Stochastic Differential Equation Theory is just a thing happened in the past years. 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.

Deep Learning-Based Numerical Methods for High-Dimensional Parabolic Partial Differential Equations and Backward Stochastic Differential Equations

We study a new algorithm for solvingparabolic partial differential equations(PDEs)and backward stochastic differential equations(BSDEs)in high dimension,which is based on an analogy between the BSDE and reinforcement learning with the gradient of the solution playing the role of the policy function,and the loss function given by the error between the prescribed terminal condition and the solution of the BSDE.The policy function is then approximated by a neural network,as is done in deep reinforcement learning.Numerical results using TensorFlow illustrate the efficiency and accuracy of the studied algorithm for several 100-dimensional nonlinear PDEs from physics and finance such as the Allen–Cahn equation,the Hamilton–Jacobi–Bellman equation,and a nonlinear pricing model for financial derivatives.

Under the Lipschitz assumption and square integrable assumption on g, the author proves that Jensen＇s inequality holds for backward stochastic differential equations with generator g if and only if g is independent of y, g（t, 0）≡ 0 and g is super homogeneous with respect to z. This result generalizes the known results on Jensen＇s inequality for gexpectation in [4, 7-9].

A SPARSE-GRID METHOD FOR MULTI-DIMENSIONAL BACKWARD STOCHASTIC DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS

A sparse-grid method for solving multi-dimensional backward stochastic differential equations （BSDEs） based on a multi-step time discretization scheme [31] is presented. In the multi-dimensional spatial domain, i.e. the Brownian space, the conditional mathe- matical expectations derived from the original equation are approximated using sparse-grid Gauss-Hermite quadrature rule and （adaptive） hierarchical sparse-grid interpolation. Error estimates are proved for the proposed fully-discrete scheme for multi-dimensional BSDEs with certain types of simplified generator functions. Finally, several numerical examples are provided to illustrate the accuracy and efficiency of our scheme.

Controlled Mean-Field Backward Stochastic Differential Equations with Jumps Involving the Value Function

This paper discusses mean-field backward stochastic differentiM equations （mean-field BS- DEs） with jumps and a new type of controlled mean-field BSDEs with jumps, namely mean-field BSDEs with jumps strongly coupled with the value function of the associated control problem. The authors first prove the existence and the uniqueness as well as a comparison theorem for the above two types of BSDEs. For this the authors use an approximation method. Then, with the help of the notion of stochastic backward semigroups introduced by Peng in 1997, the authors get the dynamic programming principle （DPP） for the value functions. Furthermore, the authors prove that the value function is a viscosity solution of the associated nonlocal Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman （HJB） integro-partial differential equation, which is unique in an adequate space of continuous functions introduced by Barles, et al. in 1997.

Reflected solutions of backward stochastic differential equations driven by G-Brownian motion

In this paper, we study the reflected solutions of one-dimensional backward stochastic differential equations driven by G-Brownian motion. The reflection keeps the solution above a given stochastic process. In order to derive the uniqueness of reflected G-BSDEs, we apply a "martingale condition" instead of the Skorohod condition. Similar to the classical case, we prove the existence by approximation via penalization. We then give some applications including a generalized Feynman-Kac formula of an obstacle problem for fully nonlinear partial differential equation and option pricing of American types under volatility uncertainty.
