Abstract

We develop an intrinsic well-posedness theory for nonlinear backward stochastic differential equations (BSDEs) driven simultaneously by Brownian motion and a (level-$2$) rough path of finite $p$-variation. Unlike earlier approaches based on smooth approximation or transformation methods, we formulate the equation directly by viewing its solution as a rough semimartingale (in the sense of \cite{friz2023rough}). This framework is particularly suited to BSDEs, whose Brownian martingale component is only implicitly defined and lacks the \emph{a priori} time regularity required by stochastic-sewing-based controlled rough path methods \cite{fhl21,allan2024rough}. We establish comparison, existence, uniqueness, and stability under the natural regularity condition $H\in C_b^\gamma$, $\gamma>p$. The main analytical difficulty, namely, the loss of integrability arising from nonlinear composition, is overcome through conditional $p$-variation norms with BMO-type properties. Finally, by randomizing the rough driver as a Brownian rough path, we establish a direct correspondence between rough BSDEs and backward doubly stochastic differential equations (BDSDEs).

Mean-field stochastic differential equations driven by sub-diffusions and their control problem

In this paper, we establish the existence and uniqueness of solutions for mean-field stochastic differential equations (MF-SDEs in short) and backward stochastic differential equations (MF-BSDE) driven by anomalous sub-diffusions $\{B_{L_t}; t\geq 0\}$ with random coefficients, respectively. Here $B$ is a Brownian moti...

Consistency and Convergence of the Backward-Euler Scheme for Stochastic Functional Differential Equations Driven by Fractional Brownian Motion

We study the backward-Euler scheme for a class of stochastic functional differential equations (SFDEs) with memory driven by a fractional Brownian motion with Hurst parameter H>1/2. We first establish the local consistency of the method, with a local truncation error of order H -$\rho$- $\beta$ + 1, and then, as the ma...

Stochastic Optimal Control Problem under Inside Information

This paper is concerned with a stochastic optimal control problem under inside information. The control process depends on an $\mathcal{F}_{T_0}$-measurable random variable $Y$, representing the static inside information, and is adapted to the enlarged filtration generated by the underlying Brownian motion and the rand...

Averaging Principle for Fractional Stochastic Differential Equations Driven by Fractional Brownian Rough Paths

This paper investigates the averaging behavior of a class of slow–fast fractional stochastic differential equations that incorporate two distinct types of memory effects. The slow variable is governed by a Caputo fractional derivative of order α∈(0,1), and is driven by fractional Brownian motion with a Hurst index H∈(1...

Well-Posedness for SDEs with Logarithmical Critical Distributional Drifts

We study the stochastic differential equation $$d X_t=b(t,X_t)d t+\sqrt{2}d W_t$$ on $\mathbb R^d$, where $b$ is a time-dependent, divergence-free distributional drift of critical H\"older--Besov regularity $-1$, strengthened by an iterated-logarithmic correction. For every initial probability law, we construct a weak...

Regularity for solutions to inhomogeneous degenerate parabolic $p$-Laplace equations

For weak solutions to quasilinear degenerate parabolic equations of $p$-Laplace type, a central obstacle in applying the method of intrinsic scaling to prove their H\"{o}lder regularity is the derivation of forward-in-time propagation estimate for the spatial measure of level sets. In this paper, we revisit and overcom...
