Abstract
This paper establishes a limit theorem for solutions of backward stochastic differential equations (BSDEs). By this limit theorem, this paper proves that, under the standard assumption g(t,y,0) ≡ 0, the generator g of a BSDE can be uniquely determined by the corresponding g-expectation ɛ g; this paper also proves that if a filtration consistent expectation ɛ can be represented as a g-expectation ɛ g, then the corresponding generator g must be unique.
