    The obstacle problem for semilinear parabolic partial integro-differential equations

    This paper presents a probabilistic interpretation for the weak Sobolev solution of the obstacle problem for semilinear parabolic partial integro-differential equations (PIDEs). The results of Leandre (1985) concerning the homeomorphic property for the solution of SDEs with jumps are used to construct random test functions for the variational equation for such PIDEs. This results in the natural connection with the associated Reflected Backward Stochastic Differential Equations with jumps (RBSDEs), namely Feynman Kac's formula for the solution of the PIDEs. Moreover it gives an application to the pricing and hedging of contingent claims with constraints in the wealth or portfolio processes in financial markets including jumps.Comment: 31 page

    In this paper, we study the Carathéodory approximate solution for a class of doubly perturbed stochastic differential equations (DPSDEs). Based on the Carathéodory approximation procedure, we prove that DPSDEs have a unique solution and show that the Carathéodory approximate solution converges to the solution of DPSDEs under the global Lipschitz condition. Moreover, we extend the above results to the case of DPSDEs with non-Lipschitz coefficients
