Representation theorems for generators of backward stochastic differential equations and their applications

We prove that the generator g of a backward stochastic differential equation (BSDE) can be represented by the solutions of the corresponding BSDEs at point (t, y, z) if and only if t is a conditional Lebesgue point of generator g with parameters (y, z). By this conclusion, we prove that, if g is a Lebesgue generator and g is independent of y, then, Jensen's inequality for g-expectation holds if and only if g is super homogeneous; we also obtain a converse comparison theorem for deterministic generators of BSDEs.
