# Limit behaviour of the minimal solution of a BSDE with singular terminal condition in the non Markovian setting

• We use the functional Itô calculus to prove that the solution of a BSDE with singular terminal condition verifies at the terminal time: lim inftT Y (t) = ξ = Y (T). Hence, we extend known results for a non-Markovian terminal condition.
