Classical and Variational Differentiability of BSDEs with Quadratic Growth

چکیده
We consider Backward Stochastic Differential Equations (BSDEs) with generators that grow quadratically in the control variable. In a more abstract setting, we first allow both the terminal condition and the generator to depend on a vector parameter x. We give sufficient conditions for the solution pair of the BSDE to be differentiable in x. These results can be applied to systems of forward-backward SDE. If the terminal condition of the BSDE is given by a sufficiently smooth function of the terminal value of a forward SDE, then its solution pair is differentiable with respect to the initial vector of the forward equation. Finally we prove sufficient conditions for solutions of quadratic BSDEs to be differentiable in the variational sense (Malliavin differentiable).

Numerical simulation of quadratic BSDEs
This article deals with the numerical approximation of Markovian backward stochastic differential equations (BSDEs) with generators of quadratic growth with respect to z and bounded terminal conditions. We first study a slight modification of the classical dynamic programming equation arising from the time-discretization of BSDEs. By using a linearization argument and BMO martingales tools, we ...
متن کاملA simple constructive approach to quadratic BSDEs with or without delay
This paper provides a simple approach for the consideration of quadratic BSDEs with bounded terminal conditions. Using solely probabilistic arguments, we retrieve the existence and uniqueness result derived via PDE-based methods by Kobylanski [11]. This approach is related to the study of quadratic BSDEs presented by Tevzadze [14]. Our argumentation, as in [14], highly relies on the theory of B...
متن کاملTwo algorithms for the discrete time approximation of Markovian backward stochastic differential equations under local conditions
Two discretizations of a novel class of Markovian backward stochastic differential equations (BSDEs) are studied. The first is the classical Euler scheme which approximates a projection of the processes Z, and the second a novel scheme based on Malliavin weights which approximates the mariginals of the process Z directly. Extending the representation theorem of Ma and Zhang [MZ02] leads to adva...
متن کاملBoundedness and pointwise differentiability of weak solutions to quasi-linear elliptic differential equations and variational inequalities
The local boundedness of weak solutions to variational inequalities (obstacle problem) with the linear growth condition is obtained. Consequently, an analogue of a theorem by Reshetnyak about a.e. differentiability of weak solutions to elliptic divergence type differential equations is proved for variational inequalities.
متن کاملA system of quadratic BSDEs arising in a price impact model
We consider a financial model where the prices of risky assets are quoted by a representative market maker who takes into account an exogenous demand. We characterize these prices in terms of a system of BSDEs with quadratic growth. We show that this system admits a unique solution for every bounded demand if and only if the market maker’s risk-aversion is sufficiently small. The uniqueness is ...
