Based on the existence and uniqueness of the solutions of these SDEs and multi-dimensional backward stochastic differential equations (BSDEs) driven by Levy pro- cesses, the authors proceed to study a stochastic linear quadratic (LQ) optimal control problem with a Levy process, where the cost weighting matrices of the state and control are allowed to be indefinite.

文摘In this paper, tile authors first study two kinds of stochastic differential equations (SDEs) with Levy processes as noise source. Based on the existence and uniqueness of the solutions of these SDEs and multi-dimensional backward stochastic differential equations (BSDEs) driven by Levy pro- cesses, the authors proceed to study a stochastic linear quadratic (LQ) optimal control problem with a Levy process, where the cost weighting matrices of the state and control are allowed to be indefinite. One kind of new stochastic Riccati equation that involves equality and inequality constraints is derived from the idea of square completion and its solvability is proved to be sufficient for the well-posedness and the existence of optimal control which can be of either state feedback or open-loop form of the LQ problems.
