Necessary and sufficient optimality conditions for relaxed and strict control problems of backward systems
arXiv:0807.4297
Abstract
We consider a stochastic control problem where the set of strict (classical) controls is not necessarily convex, and the system is governed by a nonlinear backward stochastic differential equation. By introducing a new approach, we establish necessary as well as sufficient conditions of optimality for two models. The first concerns the relaxed controls, who are measure-valued processes. The second is a particular case of the first and relates to strict control problems.
