This paper is concerned with a constrained stochastic linear-quadratic optimal control problem, in which the terminal state is fixed and the initial state is constrained to lie in a stochastic linear manifold. The controllability of stochastic linear systems is studied. Then the optimal control is explicitly obtained by considering a parameterized unconstrained backward LQ problem and an optimal parameter selection problem. A notable feature of our results is that, instead of solving an equation involving derivatives with respect to the parameter, the optimal parameter is characterized by a matrix equation.
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.
