TL;DR: In this article, reflected solutions of one-dimensional backward stochastic differential equations are studied and the authors prove uniqueness and existence both by a fixed point argument and by approximation via penalization.
Abstract: We study reflected solutions of one-dimensional backward stochastic differential equations. The “reflection” keeps the solution above a given stochastic process. We prove uniqueness and existence both by a fixed point argument and by approximation via penalization. We show that when the coefficient has a special form, then the solution of our problem is the value function of a mixed optimal stopping–optimal stochastic control problem. We finally show that, when put in a Markovian framework, the solution of our reflected BSDE provides a probabilistic formula for the unique viscosity solution of an obstacle problem for a parabolic partial differential equation.
