Abstract We consider Lipschitz-type backward stochastic differential equations (BSDEs) driven by cylindrical martingales on the space of continuous functions. We show the existence and uniqueness of the solution of such infinite-dimensional BSDEs and prove that the sequence of solutions of corresponding finite-dimensional BSDEs approximates the original solution. We also consider the hedging problem in bond markets and prove that, for an approximately attainable contingent claim, the sequence of locally risk-minimizing strategies based on small markets converges to the generalized hedging strategy.

1 Introduction In mathematical finance, backward stochastic differential equations (BSDEs) have been studied and applied to the theory of option hedging and portfolio optimization problems in stock markets where a finite-number of assets are traded. El Karoui et al. [13] studied hedging problems, recursive utilities, and control problems in terms of finite-dimensional BSDEs. Besides, infinite-dimensional (forward) SDEs have also been extensively studied and applied to mathematical finance; see Da Prato and Zabczyk [5] for a summary of infinite-dimensional SDEs and Carmona and Tehranchi [4] for applications to bond markets. In this paper, motivated by hedging problems

in bond markets, we study the following infinite-dimensional BSDE driven by a cylindrical martingale 𝕄:

Yt = 𝜉 +

f (s, Ys , ℍs ) dAs −

where ∫ ℍs d𝕄s is the so-called “generalized stochastic integral” with respect to the cylindrical martingale 𝕄. As mentioned by Björk et al. [1], in the continuous-time bond market, unlike in the stock market, there exists a continuum of tradable assets (zero-coupon bonds parametrized by their maturities), and the time evolution of the price curve is described by an infinite-dimensional stochastic process. To describe the portfolio theory in this model, we have to consider trading strategies in which possibly a continuum of zero-coupon bonds of each maturity can contribute. Hence, in the bond market, stochastic integrals with respect to infinite-dimensional (semi) martingales naturally arise and the term “trading strategy” has to be generalized in the infinite-dimensional setting. A theory of stochastic integration with respect to cylindrical martingales that is suitable for this purpose has been
