This paper aims at solving one-dimensional backward stochastic differential equations (BSDEs) under weaker assumptions. We establish general existence, uniqueness, and comparison results for bounded solutions, Lp (p>1) solutions and L1 solutions of the BSDEs. The time horizon is allowed to be finite or infinite, and the generator g is allowed to have a general growth in y and a quadratic growth in z. As compensation, the generator g needs to satisfy a kind of one-sided linear or super-linear growth condition in y, instead of the monotonicity condition in y as is usually done. Many of our results improve virtually some known results, even though for the case of the finite time horizon and the case of the L2 solution.
