We consider a stochastic control problem of a non linear system in which the variable control has two components, the first being absolutely continuous and the second singular. We assume a convex state constraint, a non convex cost criterion and we allow the absolutely continuous component of the control to enter both the drift and diffusion coefficients. The maximum principle is established by using mainly a convex perturbation on a given optimal control. This result generalizes at the same time the result obtained by Cadellinas-Haussman as well as that obtained by Bensoussan.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
