A Time-Inconsistent Stochastic Optimal Control Problem in an Infinite Time Horizon
Abstract
This paper is concerned with a time-inconsistent stochastic optimal control problem in an infinite time horizon with a non-degenerate diffusion in the state equation. A major assumption is that people become rational after a large time. Under such a condition, the problem in an infinite time horizon can be decomposed into two parts: a non-autonomous time-consistent problem in an infinite time horizon and a time-inconsistent problem in a finite time horizon. Then an equilibrium strategy will be constructed. Both Bolza type problem and recursive cost problem are considered.
