Non linear optimal stopping problem and Reflected BSDEs in the predictable setting

Abstract

In the first part of this paper, we study RBSDEs in the case where the filtration is not quasi-left continuous and the lower obstacle is given by a predictable process. We prove the existence and uniqueness by using some results of optimal stopping theory in the predictable setting, some tools from the general theory of processes as the Merten's decomposition of predictable strong supermartingale. In the second part we introduce an optimal stopping problem indexed by predictable stopping times with the non linear predictable $g$ expectation induced by an appropriate BSDE. We establish some useful properties of ${\cal{E}}^{p,g}$-supremartingales. Moreover, we show the existence of an optimal predictable stopping time, and we characterize the predictable value function in terms of the first component of RBSDEs studied in the first part.
