Abstract
Based on the stochastic maximum principle for the partially coupled forward-backward stochastic control system (FBSCS for short), a modified method of successive approximations (MSA for short) is established for stochastic recursive optimal control problems. The second-order adjoint processes are introduced in the augmented Hamiltonian minimization step since the control domain is not necessarily convex. Thanks to the theory of bounded mean oscillation martingales (BMO martingales for short), we give a delicate proof of the error estimate and then prove the convergence of the modified MSA algorithm. In a special case, we obtain a logarithmic convergence rate. When the control domain is convex and compact, a sufficient condition which makes the control returned from the MSA algorithm be a near-optimal control is given for a class of linear FBSCSs.
