Stochastic linear quadratic optimal control with indefinite control weights and constraint for discrete-time systems (Q1665772)

Summary: The Karush-Kuhn-Tucker (KKT) theorem is used to study stochastic linear quadratic optimal control with terminal constraint for discrete-time systems, allowing the control weighting matrices in the cost to be indefinite. A generalized difference Riccati equation is derived, which is different from those without constraint case. It is proved that the well-posedness and the attainability of stochastic linear quadratic optimal control problem are equivalent. Moreover, an optimal control can be denoted by the solution of the generalized difference Riccati equation.
