Abstract In this paper, we study the reflected backward stochastic differential equations driven by G-Brownian motion with two reflecting obstacles, which means that the solution lies between two prescribed processes. A new kind of approximate Skorohod condition is proposed to derive the uniqueness and existence of the solutions. The uniqueness can be proved by a priori estimates and the existence is obtained via a penalization method.

1 Introduction Given a filtered probability space (, F, (Ft )t∈[0,T ] , P), Pardoux and Peng [20] first introduced the following type of nonlinear backward stochastic differential equations (BSDEs for short):

where the generator f (·, y, z) is progressively measurable and Lipschitz continuous with respect to (y, z), ξ is an FT -measurable and square integrable terminal value. They proved that there exists a unique pair of progressively measurable processes (Y , Z ) satisfying this equation. The BSDE theory attracts a great deal of attention due to its wide applications in mathematical finance, stochastic control and quasilinear partial differential equations (see [8,21], etc). One of the most important extensions is the reflected BSDE initiated by El Karoui et al. [7]. In addition to the generator f and the terminal value ξ , there is an additional continuous process S, called the obstacle, prescribed in this problem. The reflection means that the solution is forced to be above this given process S. More precisely, the solution of the reflected BSDE with parameters (ξ, f , S) is a triple of processes (Y , Z , L) such that  Yt = ξ +
