Infinite horizon stochastic optimal control with sign-changing discount factor

Optimization and Control 2026-07-15 v1

Abstract

We study an infinite horizon stochastic optimal control problem by means of the associated Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman equation. The problem we are studying has the particularity of having a discount factor which can take both signs, depending on the value of the state.
