Backward Stochastic Difference Equations for a Single Jump Process

摘要

We define Backward Stochastic Difference Equations related to a discrete finite time single jump process. We prove the existence and uniqueness of solutions under some assumptions. A comparison theorem for these solutions is also given. Applications to the theory of nonlinear expectations are then investigated. In this paper the single jump process takes values in a general measurable space where as previous work has considered the situation where the noise is a finite state Markov chain, so the state space is finite.
