Malliavin derivative of random functions and applications to L��vy driven BSDEs
We consider measurable $F: ��\times \mathbb{R}^d \to \mathbb{R}$ where $F(\cdot, x)$ belongs for any $x$ to the Malliavin Sobolev space $\mathbb{D}_{1,2}$ (with respect to a L��vy process) and provide sufficient conditions on $F$ and $G_1,\ldots,G_d \in \mathbb{D}_{1,2}$ such that $F(\cdot, G_1,\ldots,G_d) \in \mathbb{D}_{1,2}.$ The above result is applied to show Malliavin differentiability of solutions to BSDEs (backward stochastic differential equations) driven by L��vy noise where the generator is given by a progressively measurable function $f(��,t,y,z).$
Existence, uniqueness and Malliavin differentiability of Lévy-driven BSDEs with locally Lipschitz driver
We investigate conditions for solvability and Malliavin differentiability of backward stochastic differential equations driven by a L\'evy process. In particular, we are interested in generators which satisfy a locally Lipschitz condition in the $Z$ and $U$ variable. This includes settings of linear, quadratic and exponential growths in those variables. Extending an idea of Cheridito and Nam to the jump setting and applying comparison theorems for L\'evy-driven BSDEs, we show existence, uniqueness, boundedness and Malliavin differentiability of a solution. The pivotal assumption to obtain these results is a boundedness condition on the terminal value $\xi$ and its Malliavin derivative $D\xi…
Existence, uniqueness and comparison results for BSDEs with Lévy jumps in an extended monotonic generator setting
We show existence of a unique solution and a comparison theorem for a one-dimensional backward stochastic differential equation with jumps that emerge from a L\'evy process. The considered generators obey a time-dependent extended monotonicity condition in the y-variable and have linear time-dependent growth. Within this setting, the results generalize those of Royer (2006), Yin and Mao (2008) and, in the $L^2$-case with linear growth, those of Kruse and Popier (2016). Moreover, we introduce an approximation technique: Given a BSDE driven by Brownian motion and Poisson random measure, we consider BSDEs where the Poisson random measure admits only jumps of size larger than $1/n$. We show con…
$L_2$-variation of L\'{e}vy driven BSDEs with non-smooth terminal conditions
We consider the $L_2$-regularity of solutions to backward stochastic differential equations (BSDEs) with Lipschitz generators driven by a Brownian motion and a Poisson random measure associated with a L\'{e}vy process $(X_t)_{t\in[0,T]}$. The terminal condition may be a Borel function of finitely many increments of the L\'{e}vy process which is not necessarily Lipschitz but only satisfies a fractional smoothness condition. The results are obtained by investigating how the special structure appearing in the chaos expansion of the terminal condition is inherited by the solution to the BSDE.
