On the Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman equations

On the Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman equations We consider general problems of optimal stochastic control and the associated Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman equations. We recall first the usual derivation of the Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman equations from the Dynamic Programming Principle. We then show and explain various results, including (i) continuity results for the optimal cost function, (ii) characterizations of the optimal cost function as the maximum subsolution, (iii) regularity results, and (iv) uniqueness results. We also develop the recent notion of viscosity solutions of Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman equations. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Acta Applicandae Mathematicae Springer Journals

Abstract

We consider general problems of optimal stochastic control and the associated Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman equations. We recall first the usual derivation of the Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman equations from the Dynamic Programming Principle. We then show and explain various results, including (i) continuity results for the optimal cost function, (ii) characterizations of the optimal cost function as the maximum subsolution, (iii) regularity results, and (iv) uniqueness results. We also develop the recent notion of viscosity solutions of Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman equations.
