Existence and uniqueness for backward stochastic differential equations driven by a random measure
Abstract
We study the following backward stochastic differential equation on finite time horizon driven by an integer-valued random measure on , where is a Lusin space, with compensator : The generator satisfies, as usual, a uniform Lipschitz condition with respect to its last two arguments. In the literature, the existence and uniqueness for the above equation in the present general setting has only been established when is continuous or deterministic. The general case, i.e. is a right-continuous nondecreasing predictable process, is addressed in this paper. These results are relevant, for example, in the study of control problems related to Piecewise Deterministic Markov Processes (PDMPs). Indeed, when is the jump measure of a PDMP, then is predictable (but not deterministic) and discontinuous, with jumps of size equal to 1.
