Abstract

We consider measurable F:Ω×RdRF: \Omega \times \mathbb{R}^d \to \mathbb{R} where F(,x)F(\cdot, x) belongs for any xx to the Malliavin Sobolev space D1,2\mathbb{D}_{1,2} (with respect to a L\'evy process) and provide sufficient conditions on FF and G1,,GdD1,2G_1,\ldots,G_d \in \mathbb{D}_{1,2} such that F(,G1,,Gd)D1,2.F(\cdot, G_1,\ldots,G_d) \in \mathbb{D}_{1,2}. The above result is applied to show Malliavin differentiability of solutions to BSDEs (backward stochastic differential equations) driven by L\'evy noise where the generator is given by a progressively measurable function f(ω,t,y,z).f(\omega,t,y,z).

In Theorem 3.12 (iii) and Assumption ($A_f$) e) the local Lipschitz condition on the Malliavin derivative of the generator has been weakened by introducing a map $\rho$ which determines the degree of a function's uniform continuity. One step in the proof of Theorem 3.12 has been corrected assuming slightly stronger integrability conditions in the assumptions of the Theorem
