Inspired by the consideration of some inside and future market information in financial market, a class of anticipated backward doubly stochastic Volterra integral equations (ABDSVIEs) are introduced to induce dynamic risk measures for risk quantification. The theory, including the existence, uniqueness and a comparison theorem for ABDSVIEs, is provided. Finally, dynamic convex risk measures by ABDSVIEs are discussed.
1. Introduction
It is well known that the concept of coherent risk measures with four axioms was first proposed to evaluate a risk position by [], and further extended to convex risk measures by [,]. In addition to these static risk measures, a class of dynamic risk measures based on backward stochastic differential equations (BSDEs) has been widely studied.
The general theory of BSDEs, first established by [], can be used to construct dynamic risk measures for risk evaluation in the field of finance and insurance. For instance, in a static and dynamic framework, Ref. [] discussed a class of risk measures based on the theory of g-expectation of BSDEs, which was established by []. With the help of g-expectation of BSDEs, some equivalent characterizations of dynamic risk measures were provided in [], and further developed by [,] to dynamic risk measures for processes. Ref. [] extended dynamic risk measures induced by the g-expectation of BSDEs to the multidimensional case. Recently, Ref. [] studied dynamic risk measures related to BSDEs with jumps under an enlargement of filtration, and presented a numerical approach for them. Moreover, under the framework of set-valued BSDEs, Ref. [] introduced and studied set-valued risk measures.
Another kind of dynamic risk measures based on backward stochastic Volterra integral equations (BSVIEs) are worth exploring and studying. BSVIEs, as a generalized form of BSDEs, were initially considered to induce dynamic risk measures in [], where the concept of M-solution was introduced to solve the problem of uniqueness to BSVIEs. Ref. [] stated that dynamic risk measures induced by BSVIEs are time-inconsistent. The time-inconsistent dynamic risk measures for BSVIEs with jumps were considered by [,]. Ref. [] discussed equilibrium dynamic risk measures induced by quadratic BSVIEs and explored equilibrium recursive utility processes.
Dynamic risk measures based on the classical BSDEs and BSVIEs have their own advantages. Compared with risk measures by the classical BSDEs, risk measures by BSVIEs allow the terminal objective of a wealth process (which is commonly described by a random variable in the classical BSDEs seting) to be described by a stochastic process (which only needs to be measurable to the information at terminal time). Risk measures by BSVIEs also consider the time value of a wealth process. Unfortunately, risk measures by BSVIEs are time-inconsistent, not time-consistent, while risk measures based on the classical BSDEs are time-consistent in a sense.
In recent years, BSVIEs have been widely studied by many other researchers. For example, Ref. [] proved the existence and uniqueness of BSVIEs with jumps in Hilbert spaces. The unique solvability of BSVIEs under more general stochastic non-Lipschitz conditions was shown in []. Furthermore, Ref. [] provided some theoretical research on backward doubly stochastic Volterra integral equations (BDSVIEs), including the well-posedness of solutions, a comparison theorem, and a related optimization problem. The similar work for anticipated BSVIEs, compared with [], was presented in []. Refs. [,] considered extended BSVIEs and some related control problems.
In this work, we introduce the following Volterra integral equation to simulate a wealth process,
Here, is a given -valued stochastic process, and satisfy some given conditions, and and are some given -valued continuous functions satisfying . The above equation is called anticipated backward doubly stochastic Volterra integral equation (ABDSVIE). is called the terminal condition (or sometimes the free term), and and are called the generator or the driver of (1). ABDSVIEs can be seen as a generalized form of BSVIEs and BDSVIEs. ABDSVIEs can also be seen as a generalized form of the class of Volterra integral equations (VIEs) of the first kind, which belong to the class of so-called weakly regular integral equations. In [], this monograph systematically provided the detailed related theories and methods, including VIEs of the first/second kind, the control and optimization problem, and the various applications of Volterra models. In [], they applied some special non-linear VIEs to an optimal control of a multifactor vintage capital model. To the best of our knowledge, no study about ABDSVIEs is available up to now.
Now, we interpret the motivation for introducing ABDSVIEs. Some inside and future market information is considered in the financial market. First, there may be some inside information, which can be only observed by some specific investors in the derivatives market. This inside information decreases as the trading day approaches. In other words, this inside information will be observed by all investors on the trading day. Therefore, this inside information, which may not be observed in practice, can be simulated by a Brownian motion B with a backward Itô integral. Second, because these specific investors have more market information than ordinary investors, the wealth process Y can be predicted by these specific investors for a short period of time in the future. This shows that the generator contains not only the current market information, but also the future information. Based on the above idea, we introduce ABDSVIEs (1) to derive dynamic risk measures for the risk quantification of the wealth process of some investors.
In this work, inspired by the consideration of some inside and future market information in the financial market, a class of ABDSVIEs are introduced and used to induce dynamic risk measures for risk quantification. The theory, including the existence, uniqueness and a comparison theorem for ABDSVIEs, is provided. Finally, dynamic risk measures by ABDSVIEs are presented. The theory of ABDSVIEs extends the model and results of [,].
This paper is organized as follows. Section 2 provides some preliminaries including the definition of M-solution, and some results on BDSVIEs. Section 3 contains our main results; that is, the theory for ABDSVIEs including the existence, uniqueness, a comparison theorem, and their applications in risk measures are presented. All proofs of the main results of this paper are addressed in Section 4. Finally, conclusions are summarized.

4. Proofs of Main Results
Proof of Theorem 1.
For the simplification of proof, we first use some results of theEquation (3) to prove the existence of the following ABDSVIE,
In order to obtain the existence to (17), we consider the following simple equation for each ,
where . By Proposition 1 and 2, BDSVIE (18) has a unique solution in , denoted by . Suppose that defined on satisfies (4).
Note that for each ,
where . Then, we get that BDSVIE (18) has an M-solution in , denoted by .
Therefore, for each , define the map as follows:
Under the norm , we now need to prove that the map is a contractive.
For all , let
Their differences are also denoted by
Next, in order to estimate the above inequality, we estimate the terms , and , respectively. Taking square to (10), we get that
With the help of the martingale property and the quadratic variation of Brownian motion, taking expectation to (22), we get that
which can imply that
Using integration by parts, we get that
and for each , using integration by parts again, we deduce that
By taking to (26), we get for each ,
which implies that
In order to get the estimate of (19), by Lipschitz condition, (9), Fubini Theorem and then (24), we get that
For the estimate of (21), by Lipschitz condition, Fubini Theorem and then (24), we obtain that
Now, for the estimate of (20), by using Lipschitz condition, (25), (28), Fubini Theorem and then (24), we have
Therefore, combining (29), (30) and (31), we get
Note that
Therefore, we have
where . Since , set , then the mapping is a strictly contractive on . Thus, we have shown the uniqueness to anticipated BDSVIE (17).
Analogous to the proof of the unique M-solution of ABDSVIE (17), we can obtain that for any , ABDSVIE (8) has a unique M-solution without substantial difficulty. □
Proof of Corollary 1.
Corollary 1 can be directly implied by Theorem 1 □
Proof of Theorem 2.
Suppose that with
Let us consider the unique solution in , denoted by , solving ABDSVIE:
together with the solution in , denoted by , solving the following equation:
where . Notice that for all ,
From Proposition 3, for each , it follows that there has a zero measure set with
Next, consider ABDSVIE:
Since is increasing in , we obtain that for any ,
Thus, the similar result is given, i.e., for each , there also has a zero measure set with
Therefore, such a sequence with a zero measure set can be obtained, and we have that
and
Now, we show that the sequence is a Cauchy sequence in
Using the estimate (6) and the similar approach to obtain (32) (i.e., using Lipschitz condition, (9), (25) and (28), Fubini Theorem and then (24)), we obtain that
where . Since and
By choosing , we have
where . Thus, we obtain that is a Cauchy sequence in . Let denote their limits, then such that
Furthermore, we get that
From the uniqueness to ABDSVIE, it follows that
The similar argument is also given that
Thus, the result has been completed. □
Proof of Theorem 3.
(Monotonicity) Let satisfy . By Theorem 2, it is easy to know that
(Past independence) The definition of can directly imply the past independence.
(Cash invariance) Notice that . Let be fixed and let be the solution of (15) corresponding for any . We have to show that
In fact,
By the uniqueness to ABDSVIE, we can obtain that for any ,
When . By choosing , we have
(Convexity) Let , and denote the solutions of ABDSVIE (15) corresponding to the terminal conditions , and , respectively. Then we have
We have to show that for all and ,
that is, for any ,
For , we consider the following ABDSVIEs:
We set for any ,
Note that f is convex in . Thus, for all , we have that
Since , by the Comparison theorem 2, we get that for all ,
Note that . Thus, we have
We have completed the proof. □
5. Conclusions
