L1 solution to scalar BSDEs with logarithmic sub-linear growth generators ✩
Abstract
By developing the test function method and combining the localization technique, we prove existence of an L 1 solution to a one-dimensional backward stochastic differential equation (BSDE for short) with L 1 terminal condition when the generator g has a one-sided linear growth in the first unknown variable y and a logarithmic sub-linear growth in the second unknown variable z, which improves some existing results. A new idea to study existence of an adapted solution to a BSDE is given. When the generator g additionally satisfies a one-sided Osgood condition in y and a logarithmic uniform continuity condition in z, we further establish a comparison theorem for the L 1 solutions to the above BSDEs, which yields immediately the uniqueness of the solution.
