Abstract
In this paper, we study near-optimal stochastic control problem with \(\varepsilon ^{\lambda }-\)error bound for systems governed by nonlinear controlled Itô stochastic differential equations. The control is allowed to enter into both drift and diffusion coefficients and the control domain need be convex. The proof of our main result is based on Ekeland’s variational principle and some approximation arguments on the state variable and adjoint process with respect to the control variable. Finally, as an example, the linear quadratic control problem is given to illustrate our theoretical results.
