5 Motivation Supersolutions of Backward Stochastic Differential Equations Definition (Y, Z ) is a supersolution of the Backward Stochastic Differential Equation with driver g and terminal condition ξ if T T Y t g(y u, Z u)du + Z udw u ξ t [0, T ] t t }{{}}{{} drift part martingale part Y = value process Z = control process Equality instead of inequality: (Y, Z ) is solution of the BSDE. Extensively studied: Bismut, Pardoux, Peng, Ma, Protter, Yong, Briand, Hu, Kobylanski, Touzi, Delbaen, Imkeller, El Karoui,... Applications in utility maximization, stochastic games, stochastic equilibria,... Samuel Drapeau Minimal Supersolutions of Backward Stochastic Differential Equations and Robust Hedging 4
6 Motivation Supersolutions of Backward Stochastic Differential Equations Supersolutions are typically not unique. Find a minimal supersolution (Y min, Z min )! That is Y min Y for any other supersolution (Y, Z ). Samuel Drapeau Minimal Supersolutions of Backward Stochastic Differential Equations and Robust Hedging 5

9 Minimal Supersolutions A generator is a lower semicontinuous function g : R R d ], ]. Additional properties: (Pos) g (y, z) [0, + ] for all (y, z). (Conv) z g (y, z) is convex. (Mon) g (y, z) g (y, z) for all y y. (Mon ) g (y, z) g (y, z) for all y y. Samuel Drapeau Minimal Supersolutions of Backward Stochastic Differential Equations and Robust Hedging 7
10 Minimal Supersolutions A natural candidate for the value process of a minimal supersolution: Ê t = ess inf {Y t : (Y, Z ) A}, t [0, T ] Question: Does there exist a càdlàg modification E of Ê and a control process Z L such that (E, Z ) is a supersolution? Samuel Drapeau Minimal Supersolutions of Backward Stochastic Differential Equations and Robust Hedging 8
11 Minimal Supersolutions A natural candidate for the value process of a minimal supersolution: Ê t = ess inf {Y t : (Y, Z ) A}, t [0, T ] Theorem: Assume (Pos), (Conv) and either (Mon) or (Mon ). Suppose ξ L 1 and A. Then E t := Ê + t = lim s t,s Q Ê s is the value process of the unique minimal supersolution, that is, there exists a unique control process Z such that (E, Z ) A. Compactness (DELBAEN and SCHACHERMAYER) versus fixpoint. Drop positivity for (Pos ) g(y, z) az + b. (utility maximization) Gregor Heyne, Michael Kupper and Christoph Mainberger, drop convexity in z for g(y, 0) = 0. (BARLOW and PROTTER). Samuel Drapeau Minimal Supersolutions of Backward Stochastic Differential Equations and Robust Hedging 8
12 Minimal Supersolutions Compactness Any sequence (x n) in R d such that sup n N x n < has a subsequence (x nk ) converging to some x R d. Let (X n) be a sequence of random variables in L 2 (Ω, F, P) such that sup n N E[X 2 n ] <. Then there exists a sequence Y n conv(x n, X n+1,... ) such that Y n Y in L 2 (Ω, F, P). (Delbaen/Schachermayer) Let ( H n dw ) be a H 1 -bounded sequence of martingales. Then there exist K n conv{h n, H n+1,... } and a localizing sequence of stopping times (τ n ) such that ( K n dw ) τ n KdW in H 1. Samuel Drapeau Minimal Supersolutions of Backward Stochastic Differential Equations and Robust Hedging 9
13 Minimal Supersolutions Idea of the proof 1) Paste strategies between stopping times construct (Y n, Z n ) A with, Ê t n k Y n n t k n 1/n, and Yt Y n+1 t, 2) Y = lim n Y n and Ê are supermartingales E := Ê + = Y +. 3) Show that Ê t E t. 4) There is a localizing sequence (σ k ) such that ( ) σk Z n dw is bounded in H 1. 5) DELBAEN and SCHACHERMAYER convex combinations such that t 0 Z n s dw s n + t 0 Z sdw s. 6) Verification with (E, Z ) is based on Helly s theorem and Fatou s lemma.

14 Minimal Supersolutions Nonlinear Expectations ( Peng s g-expectations) Samuel Drapeau Minimal Supersolutions of Backward Stochastic Differential Equations and Robust Hedging 11
15 Stability results For any nice generator g the mapping satisfies E g : ξ minimal supersolution with terminal condition ξ ξ E g 0 (ξ) E[ξ] = Ω ξ(ω)p(dω) (N) E g 0 (m) = m E [m] = m (T) E g 0 (ξ + m) = E g 0 (ξ) + m E[ξ + m] = E[ξ] + m (TC) E g 0 (ξ) = E g ( 0 E g t (ξ)) E[ξ] = E [E[ξ F t]] Linearity: E[λξ 1 + ξ 2 ] = λe[ξ 1 ] + E[ξ 2 ] nonlinear expectation Samuel Drapeau Minimal Supersolutions of Backward Stochastic Differential Equations and Robust Hedging 12
16 Stability results The nonlinear expectation E g 0 ( ) satisfies Monotone convergence: 0 ξ n ξ implies E g 0 (ξ) = limn E g 0 (ξn ) Fatou s lemma: E g 0 (lim infn ξn ) lim inf n E g 0 (ξn ) is σ(l 1, L )-lower semicontinuous. If g is independent of y, by convex duality: E g 0 (ξ) = sup {E Q [ξ] α min (Q)} Q P = representation of a convex risk measure Samuel Drapeau Minimal Supersolutions of Backward Stochastic Differential Equations and Robust Hedging 13
17 Model Uncertainty and Robust Hedging ( Peng s G-expectation) Samuel Drapeau Minimal Supersolutions of Backward Stochastic Differential Equations and Robust Hedging 14
18 The role of the probability measure P The probability P defines the dynamics of the process P probabilistic model, e.g. on C ([0, T ]; R) What is the probability measure P? Samuel Drapeau Minimal Supersolutions of Backward Stochastic Differential Equations and Robust Hedging 15
19 The role of the probability measure P P can only partially be identified by statistical methods Take into account a family P of probability measures (models) Model Uncertainty Remark: The probability measures are typically singular! P(A) := sup P[A] = capacity P P Denis, Martini, Peng, Hu, Bion-Nadal, Soner, Touzi, Zhang, Nutz,... E.g. dst(θ) S t(θ) = µdt + θdwt, θ θ θ Samuel Drapeau Minimal Supersolutions of Backward Stochastic Differential Equations and Robust Hedging 16
20 Minimal Supersolutions of Robust BSDEs Setting Θ is a set of volatility processes: θ : Ω [0, T ] R++ (S >0 d ). Our state space: Ω := Ω Θ Driving process: W : Ω [0, T ] R, where W (θ) = θdw, θ Θ Progressively learning about the volatility F t := σ( W s : s t), t [0, T ] In general not right-continuous. Samuel Drapeau Minimal Supersolutions of Backward Stochastic Differential Equations and Robust Hedging 17
21 Minimal Supersolutions of Robust BSDEs Capacity Let µ θ be the probability measure induced by W (θ) on C([0, T ], R d ) with the Borel σ-algebra. These probability measures are singular to each others. There is no dominating probability measures! P[A] := sup P [A(θ)], θ Θ A F T Properties (like equality and inequalities) holds quasi-surely if the event B, where they do not hold is a polar set, i.e., B F T with P[B] = 0. We assume that {µ θ : θ Θ} is weakly compact. Denis, Martini, Peng, Hu, Bion-Nadal, Soner, Touzi, Zhang, Nutz Samuel Drapeau Minimal Supersolutions of Backward Stochastic Differential Equations and Robust Hedging 18
22 Minimal Supersolutions of Robust BSDEs Supersolutions of Robust BSDE For all θ Θ, τ τ Y σ(θ) g u(y u(θ), Z u(θ))du + Z u(θ)d W u(θ) Y τ (θ), σ σ Y T (θ) ξ(θ) where σ, τ are (F t)-stopping times with 0 σ τ T. (0.2) 1 ξ is F T -measurable. 2 Y is làdlàg and Y t L 1 b( F t) C( F t), Y (θ) is optional S 3 Z is ( F t)-predictable, such that T 0 Z 2 u (θ)θ 2 udu < + and Z (θ)d W (θ) is a supermartingale for all θ Θ L 4 g : R R (, + ], such that g(θ) is a generator as before for all θ Θ. The set of supersolutions with driver g and terminal condition ξ { } A := (Y, Z ) S L : (Y, Z ) fulfills (0.2) Samuel Drapeau Minimal Supersolutions of Backward Stochastic Differential Equations and Robust Hedging 19
23 Minimal Supersolutions of Robust BSDEs Minimal Supersolution As a usual, our natural candidate for the minimal supersolution Ê t = ess inf {Y t : (Y, Z ) A} However, there is no reference probability measure! Bion-Nadal, Nutz,... We consider the infimum: Ê t = inf {Y t : (Y, Z ) A} Samuel Drapeau Minimal Supersolutions of Backward Stochastic Differential Equations and Robust Hedging 20
24 Minimal Supersolutions of Robust BSDEs Existence Result Our existence Theorem reads as follows Theorem: Assume (Pos), (Conv) and either (Mon) or (Mon ). Suppose ξ L 1 b( F T ), A and Ê t C( F t). Then there exists a làdlàg modification E of Ê, which is the value process of the unique minimal supersolution, that is, there exists a unique control process Z such that (E, Z ) A. We give conditions under which the Ê fulfills these assumptions (Markovian Setting). Samuel Drapeau Minimal Supersolutions of Backward Stochastic Differential Equations and Robust Hedging 21
