A Bismut-Elworthy formula for BSDEs with degenerate noise

Davide Addona, Federica Masiero

In this paper we derive a Bismut-Elworthy formula under assumptions weaker than the non degeneracy of the noise. By Bismut-Elworthy formula we mean a gradient type estimate on the…

Partial smoothing of delay transition semigroups acting on special functions

Federica Masiero, Gianmario Tessitore

It is well known that the transition semigroup of an Ornstein Uhlenbeck process with delay is not strong Feller for small times, so it has no regularizing effects when acting on bo…
