Abstract

In this paper, we consider optimal control of stochastic differential equations subject to an expected path constraint. The stochastic maximum principle is given for a general optimal stochastic control in terms of constrained FBSDEs. In particular, the compensated process in our adjoint equation is deterministic, which seems to be new in the literature. For the typical case of linear stochastic systems and quadratic cost functionals (i.e., the so-called LQ optimal stochastic control), a verification theorem is established, and the existence and uniqueness of the constrained reflected FBSDEs are also given.
