Abstract
In this paper, we focus on a family of backward stochastic differential equations (BSDEs) with subdifferential operators that are driven by infinite-dimensional martingales. We shall show that the solution to such infinite-dimensional BSDEs exists and is unique. The existence and uniqueness of the solution are established using Yosida approximations. Furthermore, as an application of the main result, we shall show that the backward stochastic partial differential equation driven by infinite-dimensional martingales with a continuous linear operator has a unique solution under the special condition that the -progressively measurable generator F of the model we proposed in this paper equals zero.

1. Introduction
In 1990, Pardoux and Peng [1] initially proposed the general nonlinear case of backward stochastic differential equations (BSDEs): let include a square-integrable random variable and a progressively measurable process f, and let be a k-dimensional Brownian process. It can be proven that there exists a unique solution of an adapted process of the following type of BSDEs:
Since then, many scholars have begun to carry out more in-depth research on BSDEs. As a result, BSDEs have developed rapidly, whether in their own development or in many other related fields such as financial mathematics, stochastic control, biology, the financial futures market, the theory of partial differential equations, and stochastic games. Reference can be made to Karoui et al. [2], Hamadene and Lepeltial [3], Peng [4,5], Ren and Xia [6], and Luo et al. [7], among others. Among the BSDEs, Pardoux and Răşcanu [8] considered BSDEs involving a subdifferential operator, which are also dubbed Backward Stochastic Variational Inequalities (BSVIs), and also utilized them with the Feymann–Kac formula to represent a solution of the multivalued parabolic partial differential equations (PDEs). Pardoux and Răşcanu [9] demonstrated that the result could be easily expanded to a spatial setting Hilbert by giving examples of backward stochastic partial differential equations with solutions. Diomande and Maticiuc [10] used a mixed Euler–Yosida scheme to prove the existence of the solution of the multivalued BSDEs with time-delayed generators; Maticiuc and Rotenstein [11] provided the numerical results of the multivalued BSDEs. Boufoussi [12] showed that there is an existing and unique solution to a type of generalized backward doubly stochastic differential equation with a symmetric backward stochastic Itô integral. Wang and Yu [13] explored this problem with an anticipated type of generalized backward doubly stochastic differential equation. Instead of normal Brownian motion as the interference source, Yang et al. [14] showed the existence and uniqueness of the solution for a type of BSDE driven by a finite G-Brownian process with the subdifferential operator by using the Method of Approximation of Moreau–Yosida.
Some authors have also obtained results in the type spaces of , among which Briand et al. [15] obtained an a priori estimate and demonstrated the existence and uniqueness of solutions in . Under normal conditions, Fan et al. [16] studied bounded solutions, solutions, and solutions of one-dimensional equations.
Instead of focusing on one-dimensional BSDEs ( ), it is possible to extend to multi-dimensional settings. Bahlali [17] had proven the existence, uniqueness, and stability of the solution for multi-dimensional BSDEs with a local monotonous coefficient. Maticiuc and Răşcanu [18] extended the existence and uniqueness results of the previous work of Pardoux and Răşcanu [9] by supposing a weaker boundedness condition for the generator and by considering the random time interval , the Lebesgue–Stieltjes integral terms, where a fixed convex boundary is induced by the subdifferential of an appropriate lower semicontinuous convex function. Răşcanu [19] proved that in the case of , the variational solution is a strong one since they have certified the uniqueness of that solution.
Moreover, the martingale has a broader range of applications than Brownian motion. The properties of the martingale described may not hold true, and one generally needs to enter more martingale into the response. Hamaguchi [20] proposed an endless dimensional BSDE driven by a barrel-shaped martingale, demonstrated the presence and uniqueness of the arrangement of such boundless dimensional BSDEs, and showed the grouping of arrangements of related BSDEs. El Karoui and Huang [2] studied BSDEs driven by finite-dimension martingales. Al-Hussein [21] demonstrated an aftereffect of the presence and uniqueness of the solution of a BSDE which is driven by a limitless dimensional martingale and applied the outcome to track down a special answer for a regressive stochastic fractional differential condition in boundless measurements. Because the case of is more common and is more complex in space, it is necessary to study BSDEs with the subdifferential operator, whose drives are infinite-dimensional martingales in space.
By considering the subdifferential operator and martingale simultaneously, Nie [22] concentrated on the existence and uniqueness of the solution to a multi-dimensional forward-backward stochastic differential equation (FBSDE) with the subdifferential operator in the backward condition where the backward equation is reflected on the boundary of a closed convex area. However, as far as we know, research on infinite dimensional martingale has not been done before.
The purpose of this paper is to consider a class of BSDEs driven by infinite dimensional martingales with the subdifferential operator of the following type:
Equation (1) is written in the context of a completion probability space with a continuous filter {} on the right side. Here is a random variable, given as a final value; the function F is a mapping from to H; M is a continuous martingale in the space of H; and is a predictable process that captures values from the space of nuclear operators on H, that was introduced by Al-Hussein [23], and will be explained in the next section.
The main aim of this paper is to find an adapted process in a proper space such that the BSDE in Equation (1) holds. Then, it allows us to establish the uniqueness of the viscosity solution of a certain type of non-local variational inequality. The following is a list of how this paper is organized. Section 2 introduces certain fundamental notations, assumptions, and preliminaries, as well as the a priori estimation of a series of penalized approximations to the equations. In Section 3, we verify the existence and uniqueness of the BSDE solution using the Yosida approximation approach. In Section 4, an example is provided for illustration of the proposed methodology.
2. Preliminaries
Al-Hussein [23] established the concepts of space and martingales as follows: Denote as the vector space of the cadlag square-integrable martingales {}, that take values in the space of H; moreover for each . A Hilbert space with respect to the inner product if -equivalence classes have been established. Let be a Hilbert subspace containing continuous square integrable martingale in H. These are for , for all -valued stopping times u, if we can satisfy . In particular, if , , then M and N are very strongly orthogonal.
Let , and let the process represent the predictable quadratic variation of M; let represent a predicted process that takes values from the set of positive symmetric elements that is linked to a Doléans measure of . We define and assume there exists a predictable process which is a symmetric positive definite nuclear operator on H and satisfies
Under the space of processes , we first consider to be the space of predictable simple processes, and let be the closure of in . Hence, the space is one Hilbert subspace of . Additionally, the stochastic integral is defined for an element which belongs to , and also fulfills the condition
Consider the following spaces [21]:

Let be and consider the following assumptions:
- (H1)

We introduce , which is a subdifferential of the l.s.c. convex function from the space H to . is a multivalued function from the space H to H, which was given by Pardoux and Răşcanu [1].

On the other hand, on the basis of Equation (10), we obtain
Indeed, it follows from Burkholder–Davis–Gundy’s inequality that the result below can be obtained:
We then complete the proof. □
3. The Existence and Uniqueness of the Solution

Uniqueness can be proven by using Lemma 4 above. As a limit of the quadruple , the existence of the solution is established. The following results come from Lemma 3,
and from Equations (5) and (7), for , we have
Equation (12) follows from Equations (6) and (10).
For all , let and As a result of the convergence result which was presented by Pardoux and Rascanu [8] and Equation (13), there exists a progressively measurable process so that for each ,
Furthermore, from Equation (5),

Taking the limit inferior in the probability of the above inequation, we obtain
When the constants , and the process V are random, Equation (13) can be proven. □

5. Conclusions
The goal of this paper is to present and study a type of BSDEs that is driven by infinite-dimensional martingales with subdifferential operators. We have shown that the adaptive solution of this BSDE exists and is unique. Additionally, we have presented a special example for a simple case. For future work, we will focus on this interesting problem and pay more attention to the simulation of numerical solutions of BSDEs of multidimensional and even infinite-dimensional types and their applications in finance and computing, such as [27,28,29].
