Backward Stochastic Differential Equations Coupled with Value Function and Related Optimal Control Problems

We get a new type of controlled backward stochastic differential equations (BSDEs), namely, the BSDEs, coupled with value function. We prove the existence and the uniqueness theorem as well as a comparison theorem for such BSDEs coupled with value function by using the approximation method. We get t...
