For this, we introduce an associated zero-sum stochastic differential game, where the state process is described by a classical stochastic differential equation (SDE, for short) with jumps, and the cost functional of recursive type is defined by a new type of backward stochastic differential equation (BSDE, for short) with two Poisson random measures, whose wellposedness and a prior estimate as well as the comparison theorem are investigated for the first time.

The uniqueness of the viscosity solution is also obtained in a space of continuous functions satisfying certain growth condition.

In these graphs, the components of the process are represented by vertices, directed edges between the vertices visualise Granger causal influences and undirected edges visualise contemporaneous correlation between the component processes. Further, we introduce various notions of Markov properties in analogy to Eichler (2012), which relate paths in the graphs to different dependence structures of subprocesses, and we derive sufficient criteria for the (local) orthogonality graph to satisfy them.

The dual is shown to be given by Kingman’s coalescent with mutation, conditional on a given configuration of leaves. Interestingly, the dual depends on the additional parameter of the stationary distribution only through the test functions and not through the transition rates. After discussing the sampling probabilities of a two-parameter Poisson–Dirichlet partition drawn conditionally on another partition, we use these notions together with the dual process to derive the transition density of the diffusion. Our derivation provides a new probabilistic proof of this result, leveraging on an extension of Pitman’s Pólya urn scheme, whereby the urn is split after a finite number of steps and two urns are run independently onwards.
