Abstract

In this paper we study by probabilistic techniques the convergence of the value function for a two-scale, infinite-dimensional, stochastic controlled system as the ratio between the two evolution speeds diverges. The value function is represented as the solution of a \textit{backward stochastic differential equation} (BSDE) that it is shown to converge towards a \textit{reduced} BSDE. The noise is assumed to be additive both in the slow and the fast equations for the state. Some non degeneracy condition on the slow equation is required. The limit BSDE involves the solution of an \textit{ergodic} BSDE and is itself interpreted as the value function of an auxiliary stochastic control problem on a reduced state space.
