Abstract

In this paper, we study multi-dimensional reflected backward stochastic differential equations (BSDEs) with diagonally quadratic generators. Using the comparison theorem for diagonally quadratic BSDEs established recently in Luo (Disc Contin Dyn Syst 41(6):2543–2557, 2021), we obtain the existence and uniqueness of a solution by a penalization method. Moreover, we provide a comparison theorem.
