Comparison and existence theorems for backwards stochastic DE's with discontinuous generators

Nikolaos Halidias, Peter E. Kloeden

Abstract:
An existence result is proved for backwards stochastic differential equations (BSDEs) with a generator f(t,x,z) which is possibly discontinuous in the x variable. For this comparison results are first established for BSDEs with the generator satisfying a generalized Lipschitz condition in its x variable.
