It is now established that under quite general circumstances, including in models with jumps, the existence of a solution to a reflected BSDE is guaranteed under mild conditions, whereas the existence of a solution to a doubly reflected…
Let $E$ be a complete, separable metric space and $A$ be an operator on $C_b(E)$. We give an abstract definition of viscosity sub/supersolution of the resolvent equation $\lambda u-Au=h$ and show that, if the comparison principle holds,…
In this paper, we study the existence and uniqueness of the solution to a reflected backward stochastic differential equation (RBSDE) with the generator $g(t,y,z)=G_f^F(t,y,z)+f(y)|z|^2$, where $f(y)$ is a locally integrable function…
The problem of robust hedging requires to solve the problem of superhedging under a nondominated family of singular measures. Recent progress was achieved by [9,11]. We show that the dual formulation of this problem is valid in a context…
We study robust Markov decision processes (RMDPs) with non-rectangular uncertainty sets, which capture interdependencies across states unlike traditional rectangular models. While non-rectangular robust policy evaluation is generally…

We study mean-field doubly reflected BSDEs. First, using the fixed point method, we show existence and uniqueness of the solution when the data which define the BSDE are $p$-integrable with $p=1$ or $p>1$. The two cases are treated…
Consider a one-sided Markov additive process with an upper and a lower barrier, where each can be either reflecting or terminating. For both defective and non-defective processes and all possible scenarios we identify the corresponding…
In this paper, we investigate mean-field backward stochastic differential equation (MFBSDE) with double mean reflections and nonlinear resistance. Specifically, the constraints are formulated in terms of the expectation of the solution, and…
Semimartingale reflecting Brownian motions (SRBMs) are diffusion processes with state space the d-dimensional nonnegative orthant, in the interior of which the processes evolve according to a Brownian motion, and that reflect against the…

We obtain existence and uniqueness in L^p, p>1 of the solutions of a backward stochastic differential equations (BSDEs for short) driven by a marked point process, on a bounded interval. We show that the solution of the BSDE can be…
In our recent work (Bubeck, Price, Razenshteyn, arXiv:1805.10204) we argued that adversarial examples in machine learning might be due to an inherent computational hardness of the problem. More precisely, we constructed a binary…
In this paper, we study a kind of constrained backward stochastic differential equations (BSDEs) such that the nonlinear expectation of the composition of a loss function and the solution remains above zero. The existence and uniqueness…
