Indefinite Stochastic Linear-Quadratic Optimal Control Problems with Random Coefficients and Poisson Jumps: Closed-Loop Representation of Open-Loop Optimal Controls
Abstract
This paper studies finite-horizon stochastic linear-quadratic optimal control problems with random coefficients and Poisson jumps, where the weighting matrices may be random and indefinite. Under a uniform convexity condition on the cost functional, we prove that the associated stochastic Riccati equation (SRE) with jumps admits a unique strongly regular solution. As a consequence, the open-loop optimal control admits a closed-loop representation. The proof does not rely on a global representation of the form or on any nonsingularity condition on the jump multiplier in the state equation. Instead, we construct from the stochastic value flow, and derive the strong regularity of the Riccati solution by a small-interval localization method. In addition, sufficient conditions are obtained for uniform convexity, and examples are presented to illustrate indefinite terminal and control weighting matrices and a nonzero jump martingale component in the SRE.
