The result is established by using some tools from the general theory of processes such as Mertens decomposition of optional strong (but not necessarily right continuous) supermartingales and some tools from optimal stopping theory, as well as an appropriate generalization of It\\^{o}'s formula due to Gal'chouk and Lenglart. Two applications on dynamic risk measure and on optimal stopping will be given.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2018-12-17T00:41:16.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "60K35", "82B43" ], "keywords": [ "general filtration", "reflected bsdes", "independent poisson random measure", "reflected backward stochastic differential equations", "dynamic risk measure" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
