The paper proves wellposedness of flows on manifolds with bounded geometry.

We show the local wellposedness of biharmonic wave maps with initial data of sufficiently high Sobolev regularity and a blow-up criterion in the sup-norm of the gradient of the solutions. In contrast to the wave maps equation we use a vanishing viscosity argument and an appropriate parabolic regularization in order to …

This paper is devoted to obtaining a wellposedness result for multidimensional BSDEs with possibly unbounded random time horizon and driven by a general martingale in a filtration only assumed to satisfy the usual hypotheses, i.e. the filtration may be stochastically discontinuous. We show that for stochastic Lipschitz…

Guyon-Lekeufack model accurately predicts market volatility.

New SDE model for continuous-time reinforcement learning.

In this paper, we pursue the study of second order BSDEs with jumps (2BSDEJs for short) started in our accompanying paper [15]. We prove existence of these equations by a direct method, thus providing complete wellposedness for 2BSDEJs. These equations are a natural candidate for the probabilistic interpretation of som…

In this article we investigate a first order reparametrization-invariant Sobolev metric on the space of immersed curves. Motivated by applications in shape analysis where discretizations of this infinite-dimensional space are needed, we extend this metric to the space of Lipschitz curves, establish the wellposedness of…

We study a family of equations defined on the space of tensor densities of weight $λ$ on the circle and introduce two integrable PDE. One of the equations turns out to be closely related to the inviscid Burgers equation while the other has not been identified in any form before. We present their Lax pair formulations a…

The aim of this paper is twofold. First, we extend the results of [33] concerning the existence and uniqueness of second-order reflected 2BSDEs to the case of two obstacles. Under some regularity assumptions on one of the barriers, similar to the ones in [10], and when the two barriers are completely separated, we prov…

We study risk-sharing equilibria with general convex costs on the agents' trading rates. For an infinite-horizon model with linear state dynamics and exogenous volatilities, we prove that the equilibrium returns mean-revert around their frictionless counterparts - the deviation has Ornstein-Uhlenbeck dynamics for quadr…

Proves existence and uniqueness of curvature motion for regular networks.

We consider a stochastic control problem for a class of nonlinear kernels. More precisely, our problem of interest consists in the optimisation, over a set of possibly non-dominated probability measures, of solutions of backward stochastic differential equations (BSDEs). Since BSDEs are nonlinear generalisations of the…

This paper includes an original self contained proof of well-posedness of an initial-boundary value problem involving a non-local parabolic PDE which naturally arises in the study of derivative pricing in a generalized market model. We call this market model a semi-Markov modulated market. Although a wellposedness resu…

We first introduce the concept of $\mathscr{Y}^{g,ξ}$-submartingale systems, where the nonlinear operator $\mathscr{Y}^{g,ξ}$ corresponds to the first component of the solution of a reflected BSDE with generator $g$ and lower obstacle $ξ$. We first show that, in the case of a left-limited right-continuous obstacle, any…
