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.

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.

The article first studies the fully coupled Forward-Backward Stochastic Differential Equations （FBSDEs） with the continuous local martingale. The article is mainly divided into two parts. In the first part, it considers Backward Stochastic Differential Equations （BSDEs） with the continuous local martingale. Then, on the basis of it, in the second part it considers the fully coupled FBSDEs with the continuous local martingale. It is proved that their solutions exist and are unique under the monotonicity conditions.

Variational Approach for the Adapted Solution of Backw ard Stochastic Differential Equations with Locally Lipschitz Diffusion Coefficients

One existence integral condition was obtained for the adapted solution of the general backward stochastic differential equations(BSDEs). Then by solving the integral constraint condition, and using a limit procedure, a new approach method is proposed and the existence of the solution was proved for the BSDEs if the diffusion coefficients satisfy the locally Lipschitz condition. In the special case the solution was a Brownian bridge. The uniqueness is also considered in the meaning of "F0-integrable equivalent class" . The new approach method would give us an efficient way to control the main object instead of the "noise".

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.

In this paper, we prove that a kind of second order stochastic differential op- erator can be represented by the limit of solutions of BSDEs with uniformly continuous coefficients. This result is a generalization of the representation for the uniformly continuous generator. With the help of this representation, we obtain the corresponding converse comparison theorem for the BSDEs with uniformly continuous coefficients, and get some equivalent relationships between the properties of the generator g and the associated solutions of BSDEs. Moreover, we give a new proof about g-convexity.

In this paper,a stochastic linear two-step scheme has been presented to approximate backward stochastic differential equations(BSDEs).A necessary and sufficient condition is given to judge the L 2-stability of our numerical schemes.This stochastic linear two-step method possesses a family of 3-order convergence schemes in the sense of strong stability.The coefficients in the numerical methods are inferred based on the constraints of strong stability and n-order accuracy(n∈N^(+)).Numerical experiments illustrate that the scheme is an efficient probabilistic numerical method.

ODE-Based Multistep Schemes for Backward Stochastic Differential Equations

In this paper,we explore a new approach to design and analyze numerical schemes for backward stochastic differential equations(BSDEs).By the nonlinear Feynman-Kac formula,we reformulate the BSDE into a pair of reference ordinary differential equations(ODEs),which can be directly discretized by many standard ODE solvers,yielding the corresponding numerical schemes for BSDEs.In particular,by applying strong stability preserving(SSP)time discretizations to the reference ODEs,we can propose new SSP multistep schemes for BSDEs.Theoretical analyses are rigorously performed to prove the consistency,stability and convergency of the proposed SSP multistep schemes.Numerical experiments are further carried out to verify our theoretical results and the capacity of the proposed SSP multistep schemes for solving complex associated problems.
