We prove existence and uniqueness of the solution and we obtain an explicit formula for linear BSDEs and a comparison principle. BSDEs naturally appear in control problems. Here we prove a sufficient maximum principle for a general optimal control problem of a system driven by a time-changed L\\'evy noise. As an illustration we solve the mean-variance portfolio selection problem.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2013-12-18T12:57:51.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "time-changed lévy noises", "bsdes driven", "time-changed levy noise", "mean-variance portfolio selection problem", "study backward stochastic differential equations" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2013arXiv1312.5120D" } } }
