Our first step is to prove the dynamic programming principles for nonlinear optimal stopping problems with g-expectations. We then use the nonlinear Doob-Meyer decomposition theorem for g-supermartingales to get the existence of the solution. With a new type of minimality condition, we prove a representation formula of solutions to RBSDEs, in an efficient way. Finally, we derive some a priori estimates and stability results.","PeriodicalId":50538,"journal":{"name":"Electronic Journal of Probability","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136008514","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The new special function embodies the stickiness of X entirely and reduces to the Mittag-Leffler function when b = 0 . We determine a (sticky) boundary condition at zero that characterises the transition density function of X as a unique solution to the Kolmogorov forward/backward equation of X . Letting μ ↓ 0 (absorption) and μ ↑ ∞ (instantaneous reflection) the closed-form expression for the transition density function of X reduces to the ones found by Feller [6] and Molchanov [14] respectively. The results derived for sticky Feller diffusions translate over to yield closed-form expressions for the transition density functions of (a) sticky Cox-Ingersoll-Ross processes and (b) sticky reflecting Vasicek processes that can be used to model slowly reflecting interest rates.","PeriodicalId":50538,"journal":{"name":"Electronic Journal of Probability","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48461047","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We show that these are distributed, up a spatially-dependent log-normal factor, as the zero-average Liouville Quantum Gravity measures in D. The limit law of the local time configuration at, and nearby, the exceptional points is determined as well.
