The first order condition is the the well-known Pontryagin type maximum principle. When the optimal control satisfying such first-order necessary condition is singular in some sense, certain type of the second-order necessary condition will come in naturally. The aim of this paper is to explore such kind of conditions for our optimal control problem.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2018-02-26T10:50:53.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "second-order necessary condition", "optimal control", "recursive utilities", "well-known pontryagin type maximum principle", "stochastic control problem" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
