Abstract

In this chapter, we derive a general Pontryagin-type stochastic maximum principle for optimal controls with a possibly nonconvex control domain.

Notes

  1. 1.

    Recall that, for any \(C^2\)-function \(f(\cdot )\) defined on a Banach space \(X\) and \(x_0\in X\), \(f_{xx}(x_0)\in {\fancyscript{L}}(X\times X,X)\). This means that, for any \(x_1,x_2\in X\), \(f_{xx}(x_0)(x_1,x_2)\in X\). Hence, by (9.6), \(a_{11}(t)\big (x_2^\varepsilon ,x_2^\varepsilon \big )\) [in (9.12)] stands for \(a_{xx}(t,\bar{x}(t),\bar{u}(t))\big (x_2^\varepsilon (t),x_2^\varepsilon (t)\big )\). One has a similar meaning for \(b_{11}(t)\big (x_2^\varepsilon ,x_2^\varepsilon \big )\) and so on.

  2. 2.

    We have dropped this technical condition in the paper “Lü Q., Zhang, X.: Transposition method for backward stochastic evolution equations revisited, and its application. Math. Control Relat. Fields, In submission (See also http://arxiv.org/abs/1405.4454v1)”.
