TL;DR: In this article, reflected solutions of one-dimensional backward stochastic differential equations are studied and the authors prove uniqueness and existence both by a fixed point argument and by approximation via penalization.
Abstract: We study reflected solutions of one-dimensional backward stochastic differential equations. The “reflection” keeps the solution above a given stochastic process. We prove uniqueness and existence both by a fixed point argument and by approximation via penalization. We show that when the coefficient has a special form, then the solution of our problem is the value function of a mixed optimal stopping–optimal stochastic control problem. We finally show that, when put in a Markovian framework, the solution of our reflected BSDE provides a probabilistic formula for the unique viscosity solution of an obstacle problem for a parabolic partial differential equation.

TL;DR: In this paper, a characterization of the fractional Laplacian as a Dirichlet to Neumann operator for an appropriate differential equation to study its obstacle problem is presented. But this characterization is restricted to thin obstacle problems.
Abstract: We use a characterization of the fractional Laplacian as a Dirichlet to Neumann operator for an appropriate differential equation to study its obstacle problem. We write an equivalent characterization as a thin obstacle problem. In this way we are able to apply local type arguments to obtain sharp regularity estimates for the solution and study the regularity of the free boundary.
