Abstract

The investigation of the optimal control problem for the Ito diffusion process and linear controlled output with a quadratic quality criterion is continued. The properties of the optimal solution defined by the Bellman function of the form Vt(y, z) = atz2 + @t(y)z + Yt(y), whose coefficients @t(y) and Yt(y) are described by linear parabolic equations, are studied. For these coefficients, alternative equivalent descriptions are defined in the form of stochastic differential equations and a theoretical-to-probabilistic representation of their solutions, known as the Kolmogorov equation. It is shown that the obtained differential representation is equivalent to the Feynman-Kac integral formula. In the future, the obtained description of the coefficients and, as a result, the solutions of the original control problem can be used to implement an alternative numerical method for calculating them as a result of computer simulation of the solution of a stochastic differential equation.
