    Existence of Nash Equilibrium Points for Markovian Nonzero-sum Stochastic Differential Games with Unbounded Coefficients

    Full text link
    This paper is related to nonzero-sum stochastic differential games in the Markovian framework. We show existence of a Nash equilibrium point for the game when the drift is no longer bounded and only satisfies a linear growth condition. The main tool is the notion of backward stochastic differential equations which, in our case, are multidimensional with continuous coefficient and stochastic linear growth

    Viscosity solution of system of integro-partial differential equations with interconnected obstacles of non-local type without Monotonicity Conditions

    Full text link
    In this paper, we study a system of second order integro-partial differential equations with interconnected obstacles with non-local terms, related to an optimal switching problem with the jump-diffusion model. Getting rid of the monotonicity condition on the generators with respect to the jump component, we construct a continuous viscosity solution which is unique in the class of functions with polynomial growth. In our study, the main tool is the notion of reflected backward stochastic differential equations with jumps with interconnected obstacles for which we show the existence of a solution.Comment: arXiv admin note: text overlap with arXiv:1802.0474

    Viscosity Solutions for a System of PDEs and Optimal Switching

    Full text link
    In this paper, we study the mm-states optimal switching problem in finite horizon, when the switching cost functions are arbitrary and can be positive or negative. This has an economic incentive in terms of central evaluation in cases where such organizations or state grants or financial assistance to power plants that promotes green energy in their production activity or what uses less polluting modes in their production. We show existence for optimal strategy via a verification theorem then we show existence and uniqueness of the value processes by using an approximation scheme. In the markovian framework we show that the value processes can be characterized in terms of deterministic continuous functions of the state of the process. Those latter functions are the unique viscosity solutions for a system of mm variational partial differential inequalities with inter-connected obstacles.Comment: 26 pages. arXiv admin note: substantial text overlap with arXiv:1102.1256, arXiv:0805.1306, arXiv:0904.0707, arXiv:1202.1108, and arXiv:0707.2663 and arXiv:1104.2689 by other authors.

    Viscosity solutions of systems of PDEs with interconnected obstacles and Multi modes switching problems

    Full text link
    This paper deals with existence and uniqueness, in viscosity sense, of a solution for a system of m variational partial differential inequalities with inter-connected obstacles. A particular case of this system is the deterministic version of the Verification Theorem of the Markovian optimal m-states switching problem. The switching cost functions are arbitrary. This problem is connected with the valuation of a power plant in the energy market. The main tool is the notion of systems of reflected BSDEs with oblique reflection.Comment: 36 page

    Backward doubly stochastic differential equations with weak assumptions on the coefficients

    Full text link
    In this paper, we deal with one dimensional backward doubly stochastic differential equations (BDSDEs) where the coefficient is left Lipschitz in y (may be discontinuous) and uniformly continuous in z. We obtain a generalized comparison theorem and a generalized existence theorem of BDSDEs .Comment: 17 page
