Abstract
In this article, we build upon the work of Soner, Touzi and Zhang [Probab. Theory Related Fields 153 (2012) 149–190] to define a notion of a second order backward stochastic differential equation reflected on a lower càdlàg obstacle. We prove existence and uniqueness of the solution under a Lipschitz-type assumption on the generator, and we investigate some links between our reflected 2BSDEs and nonclassical optimal stopping problems. Finally, we show that reflected 2BSDEs provide a super-hedging price for American options in a market with volatility uncertainty.
