Özet

This paper studies a linear regulatory quadratic control problem for degenerate Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman (HJB) equation. We establish the existence of a unique viscosity and a classical solution of the degenerate HJB equation associated with this problem by the technique of viscosity solutions, and, hence, derive an optimal control from the optimality conditions in the HJB equation.

Abstract

This paper studies a linear regulatory quadratic control problem for degenerate Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman (HJB) equation. We establish the existence of a unique viscosity and a classical solution of the degenerate HJB equation associated with this problem by the technique of viscosity solutions, and, hence, derive an optimal control from the optimality conditions in the HJB equation.
