Stochastic Linear Quadratic Optimal Control with Indefinite Control Weights and Constraint for Discrete-Time Systems

Abstract EN

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.
