Max-plus Stochastic Control and Risk-sensitivity

In the Maslov idempotent probability calculus, expectations of random variables are defined so as to be linear with respect to max-plus addition and scalar multiplication. This paper considers control problems in which the objective is to minimize the max-plus expectation of some max-plus additive running cost. Such problems arise naturally as limits of some types of risk sensitive stochastic control problems. The value function is a viscosity solution to a quasivariational inequality (QVI) of dynamic programming. Equivalence of this QVI to a nonlinear parabolic PDE with discontinuous Hamiltonian is used to prove a comparison theorem for viscosity sub- and super-solutions. An example from math finance is given, and an application in nonlinear H-infinity control is sketched.

On the structure of solutions of ergodic type Bellman equation related to risk-sensitive control

Bellman equations of ergodic type related to risk-sensitive control are considered. We treat the case that the nonlinear term is positive quadratic form on first-order partial derivatives of solution, which includes linear exponential quadratic Gaussian control problem. In this paper we prove that the equation in general has multiple solutions. We shall specify the set of all the classical solutions and classify the solutions by a global behavior of the diffusion process associated with the given solution. The solution associated with ergodic diffusion process plays particular role. We shall also prove the uniqueness of such solution. Furthermore, the solution which gives us ergodicity is stable under perturbation of coefficients. Finally, we have a representation result for the solution corresponding to the ergodic diffusion.
