A maximum principle for relaxed stochastic control of linear SDEs with application to bond portfolio optimization
نویسندگان
چکیده
We study relaxed stochastic control problems where the state equation is a one dimensional linear stochastic differential equation with random and unbounded coefficients. The two main results are existence of an optimal relaxed control and necessary conditions for optimality in the form of a relaxed maximum principle. The main motivation is an optimal bond portfolio problem in a market where there exists a continuum of bonds and the portfolio weights are modeled as measure-valued processes on the set of times to maturity.

A mixed relaxed singular maximum principle for linear SDEs with random coefficients
We study singular stochastic control of a two dimensional stochastic differential equation, where the first component is linear with random and unbounded coefficients. We derive existence of an optimal relaxed control and necessary conditions for optimality in the form of a mixed relaxedsingular maximum principle in a global form. A motivating example is given in the form of an optimal investme...
متن کاملStochastic averaging for SDEs with Hopf Drift and polynomial diffusion coefficients
It is known that a stochastic differential equation (SDE) induces two probabilistic objects, namely a difusion process and a stochastic flow. While the diffusion process is determined by the innitesimal mean and variance given by the coefficients of the SDE, this is not the case for the stochastic flow induced by the SDE. In order to characterize the stochastic flow uniquely the innitesimal cov...
متن کاملOn necessary and sufficient conditions for near-optimal singular stochastic controls
This paper is concerned with necessary and sufficient conditions for near-optimal singular stochastic controls for systems driven by a nonlinear stochastic differential equations (SDEs in short). The proof of our result is based on Ekeland’s variational principle and some dilecate estimates of the state and adjoint processes. This result is a generalization of Zhou’s stochastic maximum principl...
متن کاملMalliavin Calculus Applied to Optimal Control of Stochastic Partial Differential Equations with Jumps
In this paper we employ Malliavin calculus to derive a general stochastic maximum principle for stochastic partial differential equations with jumps under partial information. We apply this result to solve an optimal harvesting problem in the presence of partial information. Another application pertains to portfolio optimization under partial observation.
متن کاملPrimal and dual robust counterparts of uncertain linear programs: an application to portfolio selection
This paper proposes a family of robust counterpart for uncertain linear programs (LP) which is obtained for a general definition of the uncertainty region. The relationship between uncertainty sets using norm bod-ies and their corresponding robust counterparts defined by dual norms is presented. Those properties lead us to characterize primal and dual robust counterparts. The researchers show t...
