We consider the stochastic optimal control problems under G-expectation. Based on the theory of backward stochastic differential equations driven by G-Brownian motion, which was introduced in Hu et al. (2012), we can investigate the more general stochastic optimal control problems under G-expectation than that were constructed in Zhang (2011). Then we obtain a generalized dynamic programming principle, and the value function is proved to be a viscosity solution of a fully nonlinear second-order partial differential equation.

AbstractIn this paper, we are concerned with an optimal control problem where the system is driven by a backward doubly stochastic differential equation with risk-sensitive performance functional. We generalized the result of Chala [A. Chala, Pontryagin’s risk-sensitive stochastic maximum principle for backward stochastic differential equations with application, Bull. Braz. Math. Soc. (N. S.) 48 2017, 3, 399–411] to a backward doubly stochastic differential equation by using the same contribution of Djehiche, Tembine and Tempone in [B. Djehiche, H. Tembine and R. Tempone, A stochastic maximum principle for risk-sensitive mean-field type control, IEEE Trans. Automat. Control 60 2015, 10, 2640–2649]. We use the risk-neutral model for which an optimal solution exists as a preliminary step. This is an extension of an initial control system in this type of problem, where an admissible controls set is convex. We establish necessary as well as sufficient optimality conditions for the risk-sensitive performance functional control problem. We illustrate the paper by giving two different examples for a linear quadratic system, and a numerical application as second example.

We discuss a new type of fully coupled forward-backward stochastic differential equations (FBSDEs) whose coefficients depend on the states of the solution processes as well as their expected values, and we call them fully coupled mean-field forward-backward stochastic differential equations (mean-field FBSDEs). We first prove the existence and the uniqueness theorem of such mean-field FBSDEs under some certain monotonicity conditions and show the continuity property of the solutions with respect to the parameters. Then we discuss the stochastic optimal control problems of mean-field FBSDEs. The stochastic maximum principles are derived and the related mean-field linear quadratic optimal control problems are also discussed.

We discuss a quadratic criterion optimal control problem for stochastic linear system with delay in both state and control variables. This problem will lead to a kind of generalized forward-backward stochastic differential equations (FBSDEs) with Itô’s stochastic delay equations as forward equations and anticipated backward stochastic differential equations as backward equations. Especially, we present the optimal feedback regulator for the time delay system via a new type of Riccati equations and also apply to a population optimal control problem.
