Markovian RIBSDE Approximation Results Numerics Agenda Mathematical issues Doubly reflected backward stochastic differential equations with an intermittent upper barrier, only active on random time intervals (RIBSDE) Related variational inequality approach (VI) Highly-dimensional pricing problems (path dependence) Deterministic pricing schemes ruled out by the curse of dimensionality Simulation methods → Contributions A convergence rate for a discrete time approximation scheme by simulation to an RIBSDE VI approach Practical value of this approach on the benchmark problem of pricing by simulation highly path-dependent convertible bonds A demonstration of the real abilities of simulation/regression numerical schemes in high dimension (up to d = 30 in this work) Chassagneux, Crépey, Rahal RIBSDEs
