They proved existence and uniqueness for a generator which is uniformly Lipschitz in the variables $y$ and $z$. The aim of this paper is to extend these results to the case of a generator satisfying a monotonicity condition in $y$. More precisely, we prove existence and uniqueness for 2BSDEs with a generator which is Lipschitz in $z$ and uniformly continuous with linear growth in $y$. Moreover, we emphasize throughout the paper the major difficulties and differences due to the 2BSDE framework.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v4", "updated": "2014-04-11T14:31:05.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "60H10", "60H30" ], "keywords": [ "order backward stochastic differential equations", "second order backward stochastic differential", "monotonicity condition" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 29, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2012arXiv1201.1049P" } } }
