Linear Forward—Backward Stochastic Differential Equations

Linear Forward—Backward Stochastic Differential Equations The problem of finding adapted solutions to systems of coupled linear forward—backward stochastic differential equations (FBSDEs, for short) is investigated. A necessary condition of solvability leads to a reduction of general linear FBSDEs to a special one. By some ideas from controllability in control theory, using some functional analysis, we obtain a necessary and sufficient condition for the solvability of a class of linear FBSDEs. Then a Riccati-type equation for matrix-valued (not necessarily square) functions is derived using the idea of the Four-Step Scheme (introduced in [11] for general FBSDEs). The solvability of such a Riccati-type equation is studied which leads to a representation of adapted solutions to linear FBSDEs. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Applied Mathematics and Optimization Springer Journals

Abstract

The problem of finding adapted solutions to systems of coupled linear forward—backward stochastic differential equations (FBSDEs, for short) is investigated. A necessary condition of solvability leads to a reduction of general linear FBSDEs to a special one. By some ideas from controllability in control theory, using some functional analysis, we obtain a necessary and sufficient condition for the solvability of a class of linear FBSDEs. Then a Riccati-type equation for matrix-valued (not necessarily square) functions is derived using the idea of the Four-Step Scheme (introduced in [11] for general FBSDEs). The solvability of such a Riccati-type equation is studied which leads to a representation of adapted solutions to linear FBSDEs.
