Backward stochastic differential equations and stochastic controls

Type of Publication: Contribution to a conference
Author: Kohlmann, Michael; Zhou, Xun Yu
Year of publication: 1999
Conference: 1999 Conference on Decision and Control, Phoenix, AZ, USA
Published in: Proceedings of the 38th IEEE Conference on Decision and Control (Cat. No.99CH36304). - IEEE, 1999. - pp. 2384-2389. - ISBN 0-7803-5250-5
DOI (citable link): https://dx.doi.org/10.1109/CDC.1999.831281
Summary:
The paper attempts to explore the relationship between backward stochastic differential equations (BSDEs) and stochastic controls by interpreting a BSDE as some stochastic optimal control problem. The latter is solved in a closed form by the stochastic linear-quadratic (LQ) theory. The general result is then applied to the Black-Scholes model, where an optimal mean-variance hedging portfolio is obtained explicitly in terms of the option price. Finally, a modified model is investigated where the difference between the state and the expectation of the given terminal value at any time is taken into account.
