Stochastic Differential Equations Driven by G-Brownian Motion with Mean Reflections
Hanwu Li, Ning Ning
TL;DR
This paper analyzes mean-reflected stochastic differential equations driven by $G$-Brownian motion, where the reflection constraint is imposed via $\widehat{\mathbb{E}}[l(t,X_t)] \ge 0$ rather than pathwise conditions. It develops a Skorokhod problem with mean reflection under $G$-expectation and proves existence and uniqueness through two constructive approaches, enabling a contraction-mapping framework. These Skorokhod results are then used to establish well-posedness and regularity for the forward mean-reflected $G$-SDE, including moment bounds for the solution and, under smooth loss $l$, Lipschitz continuity of the compensator $A$. The work extends mean-reflected SDE theory to the $G$-framework, addressing volatility/Knightian uncertainty, and provides tools applicable to risk management and nonlinear PDE connections.
Abstract
In this paper, we study the mean reflected stochastic differential equations driven by G-Brownian motion, where the constraint depends on the expectation of the solution rather than on its paths. Well-posedness is achieved by first investigating the Skorokhod problem with mean reflection under G-expectation. Two approaches to constructing the solution are introduced, both offering insights into desired properties and aiding in the application of the contraction mapping method.
