Generalized BSDEs with random time horizon in a progressively enlarged filtration

Abstract

We study generalized backward stochastic differential equations (BSDEs) up to a random time horizon $\vartheta$, which is not a stopping time, under minimal assumptions regarding the properties of $\vartheta$. In contrast to existing works in this area, we do not impose specific assumptions on the random time $\vartheta$ and we study the existence of solutions to BSDEs and reflected BSDEs with a random time horizon through the method of reduction. In addition, we also examine BSDEs and reflected BSDEs with a làdlàg driver where the driver is allowed to have a finite number of common jumps with the martingale part.
