Maximum principle for discrete-time robust stochastic optimal control problem

Optimization and Control 2025-08-26 v1 Probability

Abstract

This paper firstly presents the necessary and sufficient conditions for a kind of discrete-time robust stochastic optimal control problem with convex control domains. As it is an "inf sup problem", the classical variational method is invalid. We obtain the variational inequality with a common reference probability by systematically using weak convergence approach and the minimax theorem. Moreover, a discrete-time robust investment problem is also studied where the explicit optimal control is given.
