Stochastic differential games with state constraints and Isaacs equations with nonlinear Neumann problems (1705.04221v1)
Published 11 May 2017 in math.PR
Abstract: We investigate a two-player zero-sum stochastic differential game problem with the state process being constrained in a connected bounded closed domain, and the cost functional described by the solution of a generalized backward stochastic differential equation (GBSDE for short). We show that the value functions enjoy a (strong) dynamic programming principle, and are the unique viscosity solution of the associated Hamilton-Jacobi-BeLLMan-Isaacs equations with nonlinear Neumann boundary problems. To obtain the existence for viscosity solutions, we provide a new approach utilizing the representation theorem for generators of the GBSDE, which is proved by a random time change method and is a novel result in its own right.
