Approximation scheme for solutions of backward stochastic differential equations via the representation theorem

El Otmani, Mohamed

Annales mathématiques Blaise Pascal, Tome 13 (2006) no. 1, pp. 17-29.

We are interested in the approximation and simulation of solutions for the backward stochastic differential equations. We suggest two approximation schemes, and we study the ${𝕃}^2$ induced error.
