One-Dimensional BSDEs with Jumps and Logarithmic Growth

Abstract

In this study, we explore backward stochastic differential equations driven by a Poisson process and an independent Brownian motion, denoted for short as BSDEJs. The generator exhibits logarithmic growth in both the state variable and the Brownian component while maintaining Lipschitz continuity with respect to the jump component. Our study rigorously establishes the existence and uniqueness of solutions within suitable functional spaces. Additionally, we relax the Lipschitz condition on the Poisson component, permitting the generator to exhibit logarithmic growth with respect to all variables. Taking a step further, we employ an exponential transformation to establish an equivalence between a solution of a BSDEJ exhibiting quadratic growth in the z-variable and a BSDEJ showing a logarithmic growth with respect to y and z.
