Existence Of Linear-Quadratic Regulator For Degenerate Diffusions, Md. Azizul Baten Jan 2006

Existence Of Linear-Quadratic Regulator For Degenerate Diffusions, Md. Azizul Baten

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

This paper studies a linear regulatory quadratic control problem for degenerate Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman (HJB) equation. We establish the existence of a unique viscosity and a classical solution of the degenerate HJB equation associated with this problem by the technique of viscosity solutions, and, hence, derive an optimal control from the optimality conditions in the HJB equation.
