Backward stochastic differential equations with unbounded generators. (English) Zbl 1434.60140

Summary: In this paper, we consider two classes of backward stochastic differential equations (BSDEs). First, under a Lipschitz-type condition on the generator of the equation, which can also be unbounded, we give sufficient conditions for the existence of a unique solution pair. The method of proof is that of Picard iterations and the resulting conditions are new. We also prove a comparison theorem. Second, under the linear growth and continuity assumptions on the possibly unbounded generator, we prove the existence of the solution pair. This class of equations is more general than the existing ones.
