Stochastic control for Backward Stochastic Differential Equations with semi-Markov chain noises

Probability 2025-12-23 v1

Abstract

In this paper, we extend the results of Elliott and Yang \cite{elliott3} and discuss the control of a stochastic process for which the driving noise is provided by a martingale associated with a semi-Markov Chain. An existence and a comparison theorem are obtained. In our discrete time setting, adjoint processes are provided by backward stochastic difference equations. Technical results from partial differential equation theory to establish a verification theorem are not required.
