Abstract

In this paper we study time-discontinuous nonlinear multi-dimensional backward stochastic differential equations (BSDEs) driven by general càdlàg local martingales. The Lipschitz coefficients of the generators are allowed to be unbounded. The time-discontinuous BMO martingale theory, in particular Fefferman’s inequality, is used to study the existence and uniqueness of solution in $\mathcal{S}^p$ with $p \in (1, \infty]$.
