A fuzzy optimal control model was formulated maximizing the expected discounted objective function subject to fuzzy differential equation for fuzzy control system. We proved that the value function of fuzzy optimal control problem satisfied the dynamic programming principle. The optimality equation in fuzzy optimal control was derived and an example was carried out to obtain the optimality conditions by using the optimality equation. As an application, we used the Bellman's principle of optimality to solve the fuzzy advertising model.

We characterize p-harmonic functions including p = 1 and p = infinity by using mean value properties extending classical results of Privaloff from the linear case p = 2 to all p's. We describe a class of random tug-of-war games whose value functions approach p-harmonic functions as the step goes to zero for the full range 1 < p < infinity. (C) 2011 Elsevier Masson SAS.

We consider an impulse control problem with switching technology in infinite horizon. We suppose that the firm decides at certain time (impulse time) to switch the technology and the firm value (e.g. a recapitalization). We show that the value function for such problems satisfies a dynamic programming principle. Our objective is to look for an optimal strategy which maximizes the value function.

We investigate an optimal asset allocation problem in a Markovian regime-switching financial market with stochastic interest rate. The market has three investment opportunities, namely, a bank account, a share and a zero-coupon bond, where stochastic movements of the short rate and the share price are governed by a Markovian regime-switching Vasicek model and a Markovian regime-switching Geometric Brownian motion, respectively. We discuss the optimal asset allocation problem using the dynamicprogramming approach for stochastic optimal control and derive a regime-switching Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman (HJB) equation. Particular attention is paid to the exponential utility case. Numerical and sensitivity analysis are provided for this case. The numerical results reveal that regime-switches described by a two-state Markov chain have significant impacts on the optimal investment strategies in the share and the bond. Furthermore, the market prices of risk in both the bond and share markets are crucial factors in determining the optimal investment strategies. (c) 2012 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

This paper is concerned with the stochastic optimal control problem of jump diffusions. The relationship between stochastic maximum principle and dynamic programming principle is discussed. Without involving any derivatives of the value function, relations among the adjoint processes, the generalized Hamiltonian and the value function are investigated by employing the notions of semijets evoked in defining the viscosity solutions. Stochastic verification theorem is also given to verify whether a given admissible control is optimal.

In this paper we study the integral partial differential equations of Isaacs' type by zero-sum two-player stochastic differential games (SDGs) with jump-diffusion. The results of Fleming and Souganidis (1989) [9] and those of Biswas (2009) [3] are extended, we investigate a controlled stochastic system with a Brownian motion and a Poisson random measure, and with nonlinear cost functionals defined by controlled backward stochastic differential equations (BSDEs). Furthermore, unlike the two papers cited above the admissible control processes of the two players are allowed to rely on all events from the past. This quite natural generalization permits the players to consider those earlier information, and it makes more convenient to get the dynamic programming principle (DPP). However, the cost functionals are not deterministic anymore and hence also the upper and the lower value functions become a priori random fields. We use a new method to prove that, indeed, the upper and the lower value functions are deterministic. On the other hand, thanks to BSDE methods (Peng, 1997) [18] we can directly prove a DPP for the upper and the lower value functions, and also that both these functions are the unique viscosity solutions of the upper and the lower integral partial differential equations of Hamilton Jacobi Bellman Isaacs' type, respectively. Moreover, the existence of the value of the game is got in this more general setting under Isaacs' condition. (C) 2011 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

In this paper we give some basic and important properties of several typical Banach spaces of functions of G-Brownian motion paths induced by a sublinear expectation-G-expectation. Many results can be also applied to more general situations. A generalized version of Kolmogorov's criterion for continuous modification of a stochastic process is also obtained. The results can be applied in continuous time dynamic and coherent risk measures in finance, in particular for path-dependence risky positions under situations of volatility model uncertainty.

The pricing of Bermudan options, which give the holder the right to buy or sell an underlying asset at a predetermined price and at a discretely spaced number of times prior to maturity, can be based on a deterministic method or on a probabilistic one. Deterministic methods such as finite differences lose their efficiency as the dimension of the problem increases, and they are there- fore known to suffer from the "curse of dimensionality". Probabilistic methods enable us to overcome this problem by using Monte Carlo simulations. One particular method is the Malliavin pricing and hedging algorithm, which uses representation formulas for conditional expectation and its derivative to approx- imate the price and delta of a Bermudan option. This paper specifically deals with how the powerful tools of Malliavin calculus are applied in the derivation of such representation formulas, and looks at how the latter are subsequently used in the pricing and hedging algorithm.

We characterize solutions to the homogeneous parabolic p-Laplace equation u(t) - vertical bar del u|(2-p)Delta(p)u = (p - 2)Delta(infinity)u + Delta u in terms of an asymptotic mean value property. The results are connected with the analysis of tug-of-war games with noise in which the number of rounds is bounded. The value functions for these games approximate a solution to the PDE above when the parameter that controls the size of the possible steps goes to zero.

We study a hybrid control system in which both discrete and continuous controls are involved. The discrete controls act on the system at a given set interface. The state of the system is changed discontinuously when the trajectory hits predefined sets, namely, an autonomous jump set A or a controlled jump set C where controller can choose to jump or not. At each jump, trajectory can move to a different Euclidean space. We allow the cost functionals to be unbounded with certain growth and hence the corresponding value function can be unbounded. We characterize the value function as the unique viscosity solution of the associated quasivariational inequality in a suitable function class. We also consider the evolutionary finite horizon hybrid control problem with similar model and prove that the value function is the unique viscosity solution in the continuous function class while allowing cost functionals as well as the dynamics to be unbounded.
