In this paper, we study backward stochastic differential equations (BSDEs) with respect to general filtrations. We prove existence and uniqueness theorems for such BSDEs and we establish a comparison theorem. Reflected ...

We introduce the notion of accurate foundation sets and the accurate refinement property for right LCM semigroups. For right LCM semigroups with this property, we derive a more explicit presentation of the boundary quotient. ...

This article develops a standard for evaluating how parliaments can contribute to the legitimacy of the European semester. It then uses that standard to identify where national parliaments may be able to oversee the semester ...

This article studies singular mean field control problems and singular mean field two-players stochastic differential games. Both sufficient and necessary conditions for the optimal controls and for the Nash equilibrium ...
