Kernel learning FBSDE filter improves nonlinear filtering efficiency.
In Liang et al (2009), the current authors demonstrated that BSDEs can be reformulated as functional differential equations, and as an application, they solved BSDEs on general filtered probability spaces. In this paper the authors continue the study of functional differential equations and demonstrate how such approac…

Financial markets are often driven by latent factors which traders cannot observe. Here, we address an algorithmic trading problem with collections of heterogeneous agents who aim to perform optimal execution or statistical arbitrage, where all agents filter the latent states of the world, and their trading actions hav…

The convolution method for the numerical solution of forward-backward stochastic differential equations (FBSDEs), introduced in [21], uses a uniform space grid. In this paper we utilize a tree-like spatial discretization that approximates the BSDE on the tree, so that no spatial interpolation procedure is necessary. In…

The well-known decomposition of an American option price with that of a European option of the same maturity and the remaining early exercise premium can be cast into t…
We provide explicit solutions of certain forward-backward stochastic differential equations (FBSDEs) with quadratic growth. These particular FBSDEs are associated with quadratic term structure models of interest rates and characterize the zero-coupon bond price. The results of this paper are naturally related to simila…
We analyze a market impact game between risk averse agents who compete for liquidity in a market impact model with permanent price impact and additional slippage. Most market parameters, including volatility and drift, are allowed to vary stochastically. Our first main result characterizes the Nash equilibrium in t…

We propose a model for hedging in a market with jumps for a large investor. The dynamics of the stock prices and the value process is governed by forward-backward SDEs driven by Teugels martingales. Unlike known FBSDE market models, ours accounts for jumps in stock prices. Moreover, it allows to find an optimal hedging…

The key technique is the interplay between the local well-posedness of fully coupled path-dependent forward backwa…

In this paper we consider a class of BSDEs with drivers of quadratic growth, on a stochastic basis generated by continuous local martingales. We first derive the Markov property of a forward--backward system (FBSDE) if the generating martingale is a strong Markov process. Then we establish the differentiability of a FB…

We propose a new method for the numerical solution of backward stochastic differential equations (BSDEs) which finds its roots in Fourier analysis. The method consists of an Euler time discretization of the BSDE with certain conditional expectations expressed in terms of Fourier transforms and computed using the fast F…
In this work, we have presented a simple analytical approximation scheme for generic non-linear FBSDEs. By treating the interested system as the linear decoupled FBSDE perturbed with non-linear generator and feedback terms, we have shown that it is possible to carry out a recursive approximation to an arbitrarily highe…

This work provides a semi-analytic approximation method for decoupled forwardbackward SDEs (FBSDEs) with jumps. In particular, we construct an asymptotic expansion method for FBSDEs driven by the random Poisson measures with σ-finite compensators as well as the standard Brownian motions around the small-variance limit …
