The equation is also driven by a random unbounded linear operator $A(t,w), \\; t \\in [0,T ], $ on $K .$ We shall derive necessary conditions of optimality for this control problem without a convexity assumption on the control domain, where $u(\\cdot)$ lives, and also when this control variable is allowed to enter in the martingale part of the equation.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2012-02-17T20:23:12.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "stochastic partial differential equations", "optimal control", "control problem", "stochastic maximum principle", "random unbounded linear operator" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2012arXiv1202.4006A" } } }
