Solution of a class of stochastic linear-convex control problems using deterministic equivalents
We identify a new class of stochastic linear-convex optimal control problems, whose solution can be obtained by solving appropriate equivalent deterministic optimal control problems. The term ``linear- convex is meant to imply that the dynamics is linear and the cost function is convex in the state variables, linear in the control variables, and separable. Moreover, some of the coefficients in the dynamics are allowed to be random and the expectations of the control variables are allowed to be constrained. For any stochastic linear-convex problem, the equivalent deterministic problem is obtained. Furthermore, it is shown that the optimal feedback policy of the stochastic problem is affine in its current state, where the affine transformation depends explicitly on the optimal solution of the equivalent deterministic problem in a simple way. The result is illustrated by its application to a simple stochastic inventory control problems.
