Stochastic Perron's method for optimal control problems with state constraints

Optimization and Control 2014-09-25 v2 Probability

Abstract

We apply the stochastic Perron method of Bayraktar and S\^irbu to a general infinite horizon optimal control problem, where the state XX is a controlled diffusion process, and the state constraint is described by a closed set. We prove that the value function vv is bounded from below (resp., from above) by a viscosity supersolution (resp., subsolution) of the related state constrained problem for the Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman equation. In the case of a smooth domain, under some additional assumptions, these estimates allow to identify vv with a unique continuous constrained viscosity solution of this equation.
