Backward Stochastic H2/H∞ Control with Random Jumps

Abstract

ABSTRACTThis paper is concerned with H2/H∞ control of a new class of stochastic systems. The most distinguishing feature, compared with the existing literature, is that the systems are described by backward stochastic differential equations (BSDEs) with Brownian motion and random jumps. It is shown that the backward stochastic H2/H∞ control under consideration is associated with the of the corresponding uncontrolled backward stochastic perturbed system. A necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of a unique solution to the control problem under consideration is derived. The resulting solution is characterized by the solution of an uncontrolled forward backward stochastic differential equation (FBSDE) with Brownian motion and random jumps. When the coefficients are all deterministic, the equivalent linear feedback solution involves a pair of Riccati‐type equations and an uncontrolled BSDE. In addition an uncontrolled forward stochastic differential equation (SDE) is given.
