Correlation and smoothness are terms used to describe a wide variety of random quantities. In time, space, and many other domains, they both imply the same idea: quantities that occur closer together are more similar than those further…

In this work, we introduce a new Skorokhod problem with two reflecting barriers when the trajectories of the driven process and the barriers are right and left limited. We show that this problem has an explicit unique solution in a…
This paper is devoted to the study of reflected Stochastic Differential Equations when the constraint is not on the paths of the solution but acts on the law of the solution. These reflected equations have been introduced recently by…
Dynamical systems that are subject to continuous uncertain fluctuations can be modelled using Stochastic Differential Equations (SDEs). Controlling such system results in solving path constrained SDEs. Broadly, these problems fall under the…
We study penalization coupled with time discretization for decoupled Markovian doubly reflected BSDEs with obstacles \(p_b(t,X_t)\le Y_t\le p_w(t,X_t)\). The DRBSDE is approximated by a penalized BSDE with parameter \(\lambda\) and…
