BSDE formulation of combined regular and singular stochastic control problems

Bruno Bouchard, Patrick Cheridito, Ying Hu

Published 2018-01-10Version 1

In this paper we study a class of combined regular and singular stochastic control problems that can be expressed as constrained BSDEs. In the Markovian case, this reduces to a characterization through a PDE with gradient constraint. But the BSDE formulation makes it possible to move beyond Markovian models and consider path-dependent problems. We also provide an approximation of the original control problem with standard BSDEs that yield a characterization of approximately optimal values and controls.
