Optimal control problem for stochastic evolution equations in Hilbert spaces
In this article, we consider an optimal control problem in which the controlled state dynamics is governed by a stochastic evolution equation in Hilbert spaces and the cost functional has a quadratic growth. The existence and uniqueness of the optimal control are obtained by the means of an associated backward stochastic differential equations with a quadratic growth and an unbounded terminal value. As an application, an optimal control of stochastic partial differential equations with dynamical boundary conditions is also given to illustrate our results.
