The driver $f(s,y,z)$ is assumed to be Lipschitz continuous in $y$ but only locally Lipschitz continuous in $z$. In particular, it can grow arbitrarily fast in $z$. If in addition to having bounded Malliavin derivative, $\\xi$ is bounded, the driver needs only be locally Lipschitz continuous in $y$. In the special case where the BSDE is Markovian, we obtain existence and uniqueness results for semilinear parabolic PDEs with non-Lipschitz nonlinearities. We discuss the case where there is no lateral boundary as well as lateral boundary conditions of Dirichlet and Neumann type.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2013-11-09T17:19:25.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "60H07", "60H10", "35K58" ], "keywords": [ "bounded malliavin derivative", "terminal condition", "lateral boundary conditions", "locally lipschitz continuous", "semilinear parabolic pdes" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2012arXiv1211.1089C" } } }
