Abstract: Hu et. al 2018 studied a stochastic optimal control problem for fully coupled forward-backward stochastic control systems with a nonempty control domain. By assuming a weakly coupled condition, they established an approach to obtain the first-order, second-order variational equations and the adjoint equations for the states X, Y and Z and deduced the global maximum principle. But it is well known that there are several different conditions such as monotonicity condition, weakly coupled condition and other conditions which can guarantee the existence and uniqueness of the solution to fully coupled FBSDEs. In this note, to overcome the limitations of assuming a specific condition, we propose two kinds of assumptions which can guarantee that the approach developed in Hu et. al 2018 is still applicable. Under these two kinds of assumptions, we obtain the global stochastic maximum principle.
