Abstract

In this paper we are concerned with one-dimensional backward stochastic differential equations (BSDE in short) of the following type: Yt=ξtττYrYrqdrtττZrdBr,t0,Y_t=\xi -\int_{t\wedge \tau}^{\tau}Y_r|Y_r|^q dr-\int_{t\wedge \tau}^{\tau}Z_r dB_r,\qquad t\geq 0, where τ\tau is a stopping time, qq is a positive constant and ξ\xi is a Fτ\mathcal{F}_{\tau}-measurable random variable such that P(ξ=+)>0\mathbf{P}(\xi =+\infty)>0. We study the link between these BSDE and the Dirichlet problem on a domain DRdD\subset \mathbb{R}^d and with boundary condition gg, with g=+g=+\infty on a set of positive Lebesgue measure. We also extend our results for more general BSDE.
