Abstract
We address the optimal control of stochastic Volterra integral equations with delay through the lens of Hida-Malliavin calculus. We show that the corresponding adjoint processes satisfy an anticipated backward stochastic Volterra integral equation (ABSVIE), and, exploiting this structure, we establish both necessary and sufficient stochastic maximum principles. Our results provide a comprehensive and rigorous framework for characterizing optimal controls in delayed stochastic systems.
