A Fokker‐Planck framework for the formulation of an optimal control strategy of stochastic processes is presented. Within this strategy, the control objectives are defined based on the probability density functions of the stochastic processes. The optimal control is obtained as the minimizer of the objective under the constraint given by the Fokker‐Planck model. Representative stochastic processes are considered with different control laws and with the purpose of attaining a final target configuration or tracking a desired trajectory. In this latter case, a receding‐horizon algorithm over a sequence of time windows is implemented.

We shall consider the optimal control for a system governed by a stochastic differential equationwhere u(t, x) is an admissible control and W(t) is a standard Wiener process. By an optimal control we mean a control which minimizes the cost and in addition makes the corresponding Markov process stable.

As we know, the periodic functions are symmetric within a cycle time, and it is meaningful to generalize the periodicity into more general cases, such as almost periodicity or almost automorphy. In this work, we introduce the concept of Poisson Sγ2-pseudo almost automorphy (or Poisson generalized Stepanov-like pseudo almost automorphy) for stochastic processes, which are almost-symmetric within a suitable period, and establish some useful properties of such stochastic processes, including the composition theorems. In addition, we apply a Krasnoselskii–Schaefer type fixed point theorem to obtain the existence of pseudo almost automorphic solutions in distribution for some semilinear stochastic differential equations driven by Lévy noise under Sγ2-pseudo almost automorphic coefficients. In addition, then we establish optimal control results on the bounded interval. Finally, an example is provided to illustrate the theoretical results obtained in this paper.
