Backward stochastic differential equations with stochastic monotone coefficients

Abstract

We prove an existence and uniqueness result for backward stochastic differential equations whose coefficients satisfy a stochastic monotonicity condition. In this setting, we deal with both constant and random terminal times. In the random case, the terminal time is allowed to take infinite values. But in a Markovian framework, that is coupled with a forward SDE, our result provides a probabilistic interpretation of solutions to nonlinear PDEs.
