Diagonally quadratic BSDE with oblique reflection and optimal switching

Abstract

The present paper is devoted to the study of diagonally quadratic backward stochastic differential equation with oblique reflection. Using a penalization approach, we show the existence of a solution by providing some delicate a priori estimates. We further obtain the uniqueness by verifying the first component of the solution is indeed the value of a switching problem for quadratic BSDEs. Moreover, we provide an extension for the solvability and apply our results to study a risk-sensitive switching problem for functional stochastic differential equations.
