6 The existence and uniqueness of a solution

7 Existence and uniqueness (A1) The generator and the terminal condition are product measurable, F-adapted and Lipschitz continuous, in the sense that for a probability measure α on [ T,0] B([ T,0]) and with constants K 1,K 2 we have: E [ f(ω,t,y t,z t ) f(ω,t,ỹt, Z t ) 2] and [ K 1 E sup 0 u t 0 Y(u) Ỹ(u) 2 + Z(t +u) Z(t ] +u) 2 α(du), T E[ ξ(ω,y T,Z T ) ξ(ω,ỹ T, Z T ) 2 ] [ K 2 E Y(u) Ỹ(u) 2 + sup 0 u T for any square integrable processes (Y,Z),(Ỹ, Z), 0 Z(u) Z(u) ] 2 du,

8 Existence and uniqueness (A2) E [ 0 f(ω,t,0,0,0) 2 dt ] <, (A3) E[ ξ(ω,0,0,0) 2 ] <, (A4) f(ω,t,.,.) = 0 for ω Ω and t < 0.

9 The result on existence and uniqueness Theorem Assume that (A1)-(A4) hold. For a sufficiently small time horizon T or for a sufficiently small Lipschitz constant K 1, and for a sufficiently small Lipschitz constant K 2, the time-delayed backward stochastic differential equation has a unique solution.

10 Linear time-delayed BSDEs

17 Linear time-delayed BSDEs Y(t) = ξ t 1 s βz(u)duds Z(s)dW(s), 0 t T s 0 t There exists a unique solution: Y(t) = E Q [ξ F t ] βln( T t t ) Z(s)ds, dq dp FT ξ = E Q [ξ]+ = exp ( Z(s)dW Q (s), βln( T s )dw(s) ( βln( T s )) 2 ds ).

18 Properties of the solutions

19 Properties of the solutions A comparison principle may not hold, a comparison holds up to a stopping time, If the terminal condition is bounded/non-negative, a solution may be unbounded/negative, A solution exists, but a measure solution may not exists, a measure solution exists up to a stopping time, A solution may not be conditionally invariant with respect to the terminal condition.

20 Malliavin s differentiability A special case of a BSDE with a time-delayed generator: Y(t) = ξ + t t ( 0 0 ) f ω,s, Y(s +v)α(dv), Z(s +v)α(dv) ds T T Z(s)dW(s), 0 t T.

21 Malliavin s differentiability (A5) E [ [0,T] D sξ 2 ds ] <, (A6) the mapping (y,z,u) f(ω,t,y,z,u) is continuously differentiable in (y, z, u), with uniformly bounded and continuous partial derivatives f y,f z,f u, (A7) for (t,y,z,u) [0,T] R R R we have that f(,t,y,z,u) D 1,2 (R) E [ Ds f(,t,0,0,0) 2 dtds ] <, [0,T] 0 Ds f(ω,t,ŷ,ẑ,) Ds f(ω,t,ỹ, z ) ( ) K ŷ ỹ + ẑ z.

22 Malliavin s differentiability Theorem Assume that (A1)-(A7) hold. For a sufficiently small time horizon T or for a sufficiently Lipschitz constant K there exist unique solutions (Y,Z) and (Y s,z s ) to the time-delayed BSDEs Y(t) = ξ + t t ( 0 0 ) f ω,s, Y(s +v)α(dv), Z(s +v)α(dv) ds T T Z(s)dW(s), 0 t T,

T ) Z(r +v)α(dv)

24 Malliavin s differentiability The solution (Y s (t),z s (t)) is a version of (D s Y(t),D s Z(t)). The process (D t Y(t)) P is a version of Z(t).

25 Applications to portfolio management, pricing and hedging

26 Financial market The bank account: db(t) B(t) = r(t)dt, 0 t T, dr(t) = a(t)dt +b(t)dw(t), 0 t T, r(0) = r 0. The bond: dd(t) D(t) = µ(t)dt +σ(t)dw(t), 0 t T.

27 The wealth process The portfolio process: dx(t) = π(t) ( µ(t)dt+σ(t)dw(t))+ ( X(t) π(t) ) r(t)dt, 0 t T. The terminal liability: X(T) = ξ. The discounted portfolio process: dy(t) = Z(t)dW Q (t), 0 t T. The discounted terminal liability: Y(T) = ξ.

28 Hedging problems Common financial instruments: European and Asian options, swaps, swaptions, puts on bonds, caps/floors, ξ = (L(T 0,T) K) +, ξ = (D(T 0,T) K) +, Y(t) = ξ(w T ) t Z(s)dW Q (s), 0 t T. The terminal pay-off depends on the investment portfolio process or the applied investment strategy, Y(t) = ξ(w T,Y T,Z T ) t Z(s)dW Q (s), 0 t T.

29 Option Based Portfolio Insurance Invest x euros, Protect the initial investment and earn an additional return, Buy a bond paying x at maturity and a call option on λ units of a benchmark process S xd(0)+c(xλs(t) x) = x, But λ units of a benchmark process S and a put option on λ units of a benchmark process S xs(0)+p(x xλs(t)) = x.

46 Applications to pricing principles and recursive utilities

47 Prices and utilities We can model a price or a utility as a solution to a BSDE: dy(t) = g(t,y(t),z(t))dt +Z(t)dW(t). The generator defines a local (subjective) valuation rule: E[dY(t) F t ] = g(t,y(t),z(t))dt, Var[dY(t) F t ] = Z 2 (t)dt.

48 A habit process t dy(t) = u(c(t))dt β Y(s)dsdt +Z(t)dW(t) 0 β > 0 an anticipation effect, β < 0 a disappointment effect.

49 Pricing principles Y(t) = E[e β(t t) ξ F t ] The local valuation rule: E[dY(t) F t ] = βy(t)dt, The price changes proportionally to the last price (a local expected value principle).

50 Pricing principles The price changes proportionally to the average of the past prices, The local valuation rule: E[dY(t) F t ] = 1 t t 0 βy(s)dsdt, A time-delayed BSDE with a generator of a moving average type.

51 Pricing principles The global valuation rule: t Y(t) = φ(t,t,t)v(t) V(s)φ (s,t,t)ds, 0 V(t) = E[ξ F t ].

52 Recursive utilities A habit process: dy(t) = u(c(t))dt β 1 t t 0 Y(s)dsdt +Z(t)dW(t).
