Maximum principle for recursive optimal control problem of stochastic delay evolution equations

Guomin Liu, Jian Song, Meng Wang

Abstract

For a class of stochastic delay evolution equations driven by cylindrical $Q$-Wiener process, we study the Pontryagin's maximum principle for the stochastic recursive optimal control problem. The delays are given as moving averages with respect to general finite measures and appear in all the coefficients of the control system. In particular, the final cost can contain the state delay. To derive the main result, we introduce a new form of anticipated backward stochastic evolution equations with terminals acting on an interval as the adjoint equations of the delayed state equations and deploy a proper dual analysis between them. Under certain convex assumption on the coefficient function and the Hamiltonian, we also show sufficiency of the maximum principle.

Maximum principle for recursive optimal control problem of stochastic delay evolution equations

Abstract

For a class of stochastic delay evolution equations driven by cylindrical -Wiener process, we study the Pontryagin's maximum principle for the stochastic recursive optimal control problem. The delays are given as moving averages with respect to general finite measures and appear in all the coefficients of the control system. In particular, the final cost can contain the state delay. To derive the main result, we introduce a new form of anticipated backward stochastic evolution equations with terminals acting on an interval as the adjoint equations of the delayed state equations and deploy a proper dual analysis between them. Under certain convex assumption on the coefficient function and the Hamiltonian, we also show sufficiency of the maximum principle.

Lemma 2.1

Suppose that for each $\varphi \in V$, it holds for $dt\times dP$-almost all $(t,\omega )\in \lbrack 0,T]\times \Omega$. Then there exists an adapted càdlàg $H$-valued process $h(\cdot )$ such that
