Cohen and Elliott (2010) introduced the backward stochastic difference equations (BSDEs) on spaces related to discrete time, finite state processes. Motivated by obtaining the explicit solution of a linear BSDE under their framework, we develop a new type of Girsanov transformation in this paper.

In this paper, we study a functional fully coupled forward–backward stochastic differential equation (FBSDE). For this functional FBSDE, the classical Lipschitz and monotonicity conditions which guarantee the existence and uniqueness of the solution to FBSDE are no longer applicable. To...

We show that the equivalence between certain problems of singular stochastic control (SSC) and related questions of optimal stopping known for convex performance criteria (see, for example, Karatzas and Shreve (1984)) continues to hold in a non convex problem provided a related discretionary...

This paper examines a Markovian model for the optimal irreversible investment problem of a firm aiming at minimizing total expected costs of production. We model market uncertainty and the cost of investment per unit of production capacity as two independent one-dimensional regular diffusions,...

In this paper we provide a complete theoretical analysis of a two-dimensional degenerate non convex singular stochastic control problem. The optimisation is motivated by a storage-consumption model in an electricity market, and features a stochastic real-valued spot price modelled by Brownian...
