Abstract

The aim of this paper is to introduce a new formalism for the deterministic analysis associated with backward stochastic differential equations driven by general c{\`a}dl{\`a}g martingales. When the martingale is a standard Brownian motion, the natural deterministic analysis is provided by the solution of a semilinear PDE of parabolic type. A significant application concerns the hedging problem under basis risk of a contingent claim g(X_T,S_T)g(X\_T,S\_T), where SS (resp. XX) is an underlying price of a traded (resp. non-traded but observable) asset, via the celebrated F{\"o}llmer-Schweizer decomposition. We revisit the case when the couple of price processes (X,S)(X,S) is a diffusion and we provide explicit expressions when (X,S)(X,S) is an exponential of additive processes.
