This paper is concerned with H2/H∞ control of a new class of stochastic systems. The most distinguishing feature, compared with the existing literature, is that the systems are described by backward stochastic differential equations (BSDEs) with Brownian motion and random jumps. It is shown that the backward stochastic H2/H∞ control under consideration is associated with the L 2 -gain of the corresponding uncontrolled backward stochastic perturbed system. A necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of a unique solution to the control problem under consideration is derived. The resulting solution is characterized by the solution of an uncontrolled forward backward stochastic differential equation (FBSDE) with Brownian motion and random jumps. When the coefficients are all deterministic, the equivalent linear feedback solution involves a pair of Riccati-type equations and an uncontrolled BSDE. In addition an uncontrolled forward stochastic differential equation (SDE) is given.

The mixedH2/H∞control problem is studied for systems governed by infinite horizon backward stochastic differential equations (BSDEs) with exogenous disturbance signal. A necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of a unique solution to theH2/H∞control problem is derived. The equivalent feedback solution is also discussed. Contrary to deterministic or stochastic forward case, the feedback solution is no longer feedback of the current state; rather, it is feedback of the entire history of the state.

This paper is concerned with the H 2 /H ∞ control problem for stochastic linear systems with delay in state, control and external disturbance-dependent noise. A necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of a unique solution to the control problem is derived. The resulting solution is characterised by a kind of complex generalised forward-backward stochastic differential equations with stochastic delay equations as forward equations and anticipated backward stochastic differential equations as backward equations. Especially, we present the equivalent feedback solution via a new type of Riccati equations. To explain the theoretical results, we apply them to a population control problem.

In this paper, we discuss the recursive stochastic H 2 ∕H ∞ control problem of delay systems with random coefficients involving both continuous and impulse controls. By virtue of a new type of forward backward stochastic differential equations, a necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of a unique solution to the control problem under consideration is derived. The existence and uniqueness of the forward backward stochastic differential equations are also be proved.
