We introduce a new class of Backward Stochastic Differential Equations in which the $T$-terminal value $Y_{T}$ of the solution $(Y,Z)$ is not fixed as a random variable, but only satisfies a weak constraint of the form $E[\Psi(Y_{T})]\ge…
We provide a probabilistic solution of a not necessarily Markovian control problem with a state constraint by means of a Backward Stochastic Differential Equation (BSDE). The novelty of our solution approach is that the BSDE possesses a…
We study the existence of solutions to backward stochastic differential equations with drivers f(t,W,y,z) that are convex in z. We assume f to be Lipschitz in y and W but do not make growth assumptions with respect to z. We first show the…
In this paper we are concerned with one-dimensional backward stochastic differential equations (BSDE in short) of the following type: \[Y_t=\xi -\int_{t\wedge \tau}^{\tau}Y_r|Y_r|^q dr-\int_{t\wedge \tau}^{\tau}Z_r dB_r,\qquad t\geq 0,\]…

A backward stochastic differential equation (BSDE) is an SDE of the form $-dY_t = f(t,Y_t,Z_t)dt - Z_t^*dW_t;\ Y_T = \xi$. The subject of BSDEs has seen extensive attention since their introduction in the linear case by Bismut (1973) and in…
We solve a class of BSDE with a power function $f(y) = y^q$, $q > 1$, driving its drift and with the terminal boundary condition $ \xi = \infty \cdot \mathbf{1}_{B(m,r)^c}$ (for which $q > 2$ is assumed) or $ \xi = \infty \cdot…

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…
We consider a stochastic control problem for a class of nonlinear kernels. More precisely, our problem of interest consists in the optimisation, over a set of possibly non-dominated probability measures, of solutions of backward stochastic…
We prove the existence of a weak solution to a backward stochastic differential equation (BSDE) $$ Y_t=\xi+\int_t^T f(s,X_s,Y_s,Z_s)\,ds-\int_t^T Z_s\,d\wien_s$$ in a finite-dimensional space, where $f(t,x,y,z)$ is affine with respect to…
