The problem of minimizing or maximizing the time spent by a controlled
diffusion process in a given interval is known as LQG homing. The optimal control,
when it is possible to obtain an explicit solution to such a problem, is often expressed
as special functions. Here, the inverse problem is considered: we determine, under certain
assumptions, the processes for which the optimal control is a simple power function.
Moreover, the problem is extended to the case of jump-diffusion processes.
