Abstract

In this paper, we study the connections between three concepts - the reverse H\"older inequality for matrix-valued martingales, the well-posedness of linear BSDEs with unbounded coefficients, and the well-posedness of quadratic BSDE systems. In particular, we show that a linear BSDE with bmo (bounded mean oscillation) coefficients is well-posed if and only if the stochastic exponential of a related matrix-valued martingale satisfies a reverse H\"older inequality. Furthermore, we give structural conditions under which these two equivalent conditions are satisfied. Finally, we apply our results on linear equations to obtain global well-posedness results for two new classes of non-Markovian quadratic BSDE systems with special structure.
