General Mean Reflected BSDEs

Abstract

The present paper is devoted to the study of backward stochastic differential equations with mean reflection formulated by Briand et al. [7]. We investigate the solvability of a generalized mean reflected BSDE, whose driver also depends on the distribution of the solution term $Y$. Using a fixed-point argument, BMO martingale theory and the $\theta$-method, we establish the existence and uniqueness result for such BSDEs in several typical situations, including the case where the driver is quadratic with bounded or unbounded terminal condition.
