Quadratic BSDE with \(\mathbb{L}^{2}\)-terminal data: Krylov's estimate, Itô-Krylov's formula and existence results (Q2406565): Difference between revisions

The authors consider one-dimensional quadratic backward stochastic differential equations (QBSDEs) with a measurable generator and an arbitrary terminal datum. Local and global Krylov estimates as well as Itô-Krylov's formula for the solutions of QBSDEs are established with the help of a simple probabilistic method based on the occupation time formula. This allows them to prove various existence and uniqueness results for several classes of QBSDEs with a square-integrable terminal condition. Comparison theorems for the solutions are established. The existence of viscosity solutions is proved as a by-product, for a particular class of QBSDEs, also with a square-integrable terminal condition.
