- Title: Malliavin calculus for backward stochastic differential equations and application to numerical solutions
- Abstract: In this work we study backward stochastic differential equations with general terminal value and general random generator. In particular, we don’t require the terminal value be given by a forward diffusion equation. The randomness of the generator does not need to be from a forward equation neither. Motivated from applications to numerical simulations, first we obtain the $L^p$-H\”older continuity of the solution. Then, we construct several numerical approximation schemes for backward stochastic differential equations and obtain the rate of convergence of the schemes based on the obtained $L^p$-H\”older continuity results. The main tool is the Malliavin calculus.
