Abstract
We derive the Tanaka formula for multidimensional semismooth functions with the local time on the semismooth curve along the gradient direction. With this formula, we extend the relative optimization based approach to stochastic control to multidimensional systems. Optimality conditions are derived for systems with semismooth value functions, and no viscosity solution is involved. This approach provides new insights and motivates the research on stochastic control and stochastic calculus, in particular, for problems with nonsmooth features and degenerate points.
