In this paper, the authors give a necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of control that keeps the corresponding trajectory of the related stochastic control system within a prescribed closed subset of the state space.
Abstract
In this Note, we give a necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of control that keeps the corresponding trajectory of the related stochastic control system within a prescribed closed subset of the state space. The problem of existence of stochastic control under a state-constraint is also called the viability property of the underlying control system. Our result is: the square of the distance function of this constraint is a viscosity supersolution of a Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman equation if and only if the system enjoys the viability property.

Necessary and sufficient condition for comparison theorem of 1-dimensional stochastic differential equations

TL;DR: In this article, the authors presented a new approach to obtain the comparison theorem of two 1-dimensional SDEs with diffusion and jumps, where the comparison requirement was regarded as to keep the solution ( X t 1, X t 2 ) within the constraint K = { ( x 1, x 2 ) ; x 1 ⩽ x 2 }.

User’s guide to viscosity solutions of second order partial differential equations

TL;DR: The notion of viscosity solutions of scalar fully nonlinear partial differential equations of second order provides a framework in which startling comparison and uniqueness theorems, existence theorem, and continuous dependence may now be proved by very efficient and striking arguments as discussed by the authors.

Compactification methods in the control of degenerate diffusions: existence of an optimal control

The viability theorem for stochastic differential inclusions 2

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors combine two ways for representing uncertainty through stochastic differential inclusions: a "stochastic uncertainty" driven by a Wiener process, and a "contingent uncertainty"driven by a set-valued map, as well as to consider stochastically control problems with continuous dynamir and state dependent controls.
