On the orthogonal component of BSDEs in a Markovian setting
Résumé
In this note we consider a quadratic growth backward stochastic differential equation (BSDE) driven by a continuous martingale M. We prove (in Theorem 3.2) that if M is a strong Markov process and if the BSDE has the form (2.2) with regular data then the unique solution (Y,Z,N) of the BSDE is reduced to (Y,Z), i.e. the orthogonal martingale N is equal to zero, showing that in a Markovian setting the "usual" solution (Y,Z) (of a BSDE with regular data) has not to be completed by a strongly orthogonal component even if M does not enjoy the martingale representation property.
