General Doubly Stochastic Maximum Principle and Its Applications to Optimal Control of SPDEs

Abstract

In this paper, we prove the necessary and sufficient maximum principles (NSMPs in short) for the optimal control of systems described by a quasilinear stochastic heat equation within convex control domains, which all the coefficients contain control variables. For that, the optimal control problem of fully coupled forward-backward doubly stochastic system is studied. We apply our NSMPs to treat a kind of forward-backward doubly stochastic linear quadratic optimal control problems and an example of optimal control of stochastic partial differential equations (SPDEs in short) as well.
