All Rights Reserved.We study a class of non-linear Backward stochastic differential equations (BSDE) with a superlinear driver process f adapted to a filtration F and over a random time interval [[0, S]] where S is a stopping time of F. The terminal condition ξ is allowed to take the value +∞, i.e., singular. We call a stopping time S solvable with respect to a given BSDE and filtration if the BSDE has a minimal supersolution with terminal value 1 at terminal time S. Our goal is to show existence of solutions to the BSDE for a range of singular terminal values under the assumption that S is solvable. We will do so by proving that the minimal supersolution to the BSDE is a solution, i.e., it is continuous at time S and attains the terminal value with probability 1. We consider three types of terminal values: 1) Markovian: i.e., ξ is of the form ξ = g(ΞS) where Ξ is a continuous Markovian diffusion process, S is a hitting time of Ξ and g is a deterministic function 2) terminal conditions of the form (Formula Presented) and 3) (Formula Presented) where Ƭ is another stopping time. For general ξ we prove that minimal supersolution has a limit at time S provided that F is left continuous at time S. Finally, we discuss the implications of our results about Markovian terminal conditions to the solution of non-linear elliptic PDE with singular boundary conditions

Continuity problem for backward stochastic differential equations with singular nonmarkovian terminal conditions and deterministic terminal times Ahmadi, Mahdi; Sezer, Ali Devin; Department of Financial Mathematics (2020-9) In this thesis we study a class of Backward Stochastic Differential Equations (BSDE) with superlinear driver process f adapted to a filtration F = fFt; t 2 [0; T]g supporting at least a d dimensional Brownian motion and a Poisson random measure on Rm n f0g in a deterministic time interval [0; T]. The superlinearity of f allows terminal conditions that can take the value +1 with positive probability. Such terminal conditions are called “singular.” A terminal condition is said to be Markovian if it is a det...
Backward stochastic differential equations and Feynman-Kac formula in the presence of jump processes İncegül Yücetürk, Cansu; Yolcu Okur, Yeliz; Hayfavi, Azize; Department of Financial Mathematics (2013) Backward Stochastic Differential Equations (BSDEs) appear as a new class of stochastic differential equations, with a given value at the terminal time T. The application area of the BSDEs is conceptually wide which is known only for forty years. In financial mathematics, El Karoui, Peng and Quenez have a fundamental and significant article called “Backward Stochastic Differential Equations in Finance” (1997) which is taken as a groundwork for this thesis. In this thesis we follow the following steps: Firstl...
Continuity problem for backward stochastic differential equations with singular nonmarkovian terminal conditions and random terminal times Samuel, Sharoy Augustine; Sezer, Ali Devin; Department of Financial Mathematics (2021-7) We study a class of nonlinear BSDEs with a superlinear driver process f adapted to a filtration F and over a random time interval [0, S] where S is a stopping time of F. The filtration is assumed to support at least a d-dimensional Brownian motion as well as a Poisson random measure. The terminal condition ξ is allowed to take the value +∞, i.e., singular. Our goal is to show existence of solutions to the BSDE in this setting. We will do so by proving that the minimal supersolution to the BSDE is a so luti...
Boundary value problems for higher order linear impulsive differential equations Uğur, Ömür; Akhmet, Marat (2006-07-01) In this paper higher order linear impulsive differential equations with fixed moments of impulses subject to linear boundary conditions are studied. Green's formula is defined for piecewise differentiable functions. Properties of Green's functions for higher order impulsive boundary value problems are introduced. An appropriate example of the Green's function for a boundary value problem is provided. Furthermore, eigenvalue problems and basic properties of eigensolutions are considered.

Least squares differential quadrature time integration scheme in the dual reciprocity boundary element method solution of convection-diffusion problems Bozkaya, Canan (2005-03-18) The least squares differential quadrature method (DQM) is used for solving the ordinary differential equations in time, obtained from the application of the dual reciprocity boundary element method (DRBEM) for the spatial partial derivatives in convection-diffusion type problems. The DRBEM enables us to use the fundamental solution of the Laplace equation which is easy to implement computationally. The time derivative and the convection terms are considered as the nonhomogeneity in the equation which are ap...
