Viscosity Solutions to Second Order Path-Dependent Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman Equations in Hilbert Spaces

Abstract

In this article, a notion of viscosity solutions is introduced for second order path-dependent Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman (PHJB) equations associated with optimal control problems for path-dependent stochastic evolution equations in Hilbert spaces. We identify the value functional of optimal control problems as unique viscosity solution to the associated PHJB equations. We also show that our notion of viscosity solutions is consistent with the corresponding notion of classical solutions, and satisfies a stability property.
