Abstract
This paper is first concerned with one kind of discrete-time stochastic optimal control problem with convex control domains, for which necessary condition in the form of Pontryagin's maximum principle and sufficient condition of optimality are derived. The results are then extended to two kinds of discrete-time stochastic games. Two illustrative examples are studied, for which the explicit optimal strategies are given. This paper establishes a rigorous version of discrete-time stochastic maximum principle in a clear and concise way and paves a road for further related topics.
期刊介绍:
MCRF aims to publish original research as well as expository papers on mathematical control theory and related fields. The goal is to provide a complete and reliable source of mathematical methods and results in this field. The journal will also accept papers from some related fields such as differential equations, functional analysis, probability theory and stochastic analysis, inverse problems, optimization, numerical computation, mathematical finance, information theory, game theory, system theory, etc., provided that they have some intrinsic connections with control theory.
