We solve an optimal cost problem for a stochastic Navier-Stokes equation in space dimension 2 by proving existence and uniqueness of a smooth solution of the corresponding Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman equation.
In this paper, we study one kind of stochastic recursive optimal control problem for the systems described by stochastic differential equations with delay (SDDE). In our framework, not only the dynamics of the systems but also the recursive utility depend on the past path segment of the state process in a general form. We give the dynamic programming principle for this kind of optimal control problems and show that the value function is the viscosity solution of the corresponding infinite dimensional...
In many western economies, the phenomenon of ageing population implies that the large Pay-As-You-Go (PAYGO) social security system will run into several severe financial difficulties. In that direction, this paper constructs a discrete-time stochastic model for a quasi PAYGO social security system to allow the potential accumulation of a special (contingency) fund, which can oscillate so as to absorb fluctuations in the various system parameters involved. The basic difference equation is analytically...
