Lipschitz-quadratic Regularization for Quadratic Semimartingale BSDEs

Abstract

We refine the solvability of quadratic semimartingale BSDEs by employing a Lipschitz-quadratic regularization procedure. In the first step, we prove an existence and uniqueness result for a class of Lipschitz-quadratic BSDEs. A corresponding stability theorem and a Lipschitz-quadratic regularization are developed to solve quadratic BSDEs. The advantage of our approach is that much weaker conditions ensure the existence and uniqueness results.
