Abstract

The backward stochastic differential equations driven by both standard and fractional Brownian motions (or, in short, SFBSDE) are studied. A Wick-Itô stochastic integral for a fractional Brownian motion is adopted. The fractional Itô formula for the standard and fractional Brownian motions is provided. Introducing the concept of the quasi-conditional expectation, we study some its properties. Using the quasi-conditional expectation, we also discuss the existence and uniqueness of solutions to general SFBSDEs, where a fixed point principle is employed. Moreover, solutions to linear SFBSDEs are investigated. Finally, an explicit solution to a class of linear SFBSDEs is found.
