1 Introduction

The optimal control theory of stochastic problem has been widely used in economy, fi nanceetc.The delay variables and jump di ff usions make the problem more complex than the one with only Brownian motion.Actually,delay and jump are very common in real world,and its optimal control problem is very challenging and meaningful.In this paper,we study the necessary maximum principle of stochastic optimal control problem with delay and jump di ff usion.

In last forty years,the maximum principle of stochastic problem has been studied by many researchers.The research started by the work of Kushner[1]and Bismut[2],and improved by Bensoussan[3],Haussmann[4],and Peng[5],Yong and Zhou[6]reviewed and improved the previous work based on these famous works.These works are mainly about the Wiener process.

In last decade,the studies about stochastic optimal problem with delay have developed very fast.In 2000,?ksendal and Sulem[7]obtained two sufficient maximum principles of stochastic optimal problem with delay,and cooperated with Elsanousiet al.[8]to give the solvability result of optimal control for random harvest problem with delay.Later,Larssen[9]applied the dynamic programming method to solve stochastic optimal control problem with delay.In 2010,based on Peng and Yang’s work(see[10]),Chen and Wu[11]gave the necessary and sufficient principles of the stochastic problem with delay.There were also many works for the optimal control problems with the jump di ff usion.Tang and Li[12]obtained the necessary maximum principle about this problem,Framstadet al.[13]gave the sufficient maximum principle.Also,in 2011,?ksendalet al.[14]gave a result about maximum principle on stochastic system with delay and jump,and our result is di ff erent with this result in model and proof of the theorems,such as higher dimensions,di ff erent parameters,and the proof details.

In Section 2,we introduce the preliminaries about the stochastic di ff erential equation with delay and jump di ff usion,and give several assumptions which should be satis fi ed in the following results.In Section 3,with the aid of It?o’s formula and variational technique, we obtain the necessary maximum principle for the stochastic problem with delay and jump di ff usion.

2 Preliminaries

Firstly,we introduce the stochastic di ff erential equation with delay and jump di ff usion.Let the state variable X(t)be a jump di ff usion which is a ff ected by the control variable v(t)and its delay variable v(t?δ).Then the equation of X(t)can be described as follows∶

dX(t)=b(t,X(t),X(t?δ),v(t),v(t?δ))dt+σ(t,X(t),X(t?δ),v(t),v(t?δ))dB(t)

Here,b∶[0,T]×Rn×Rn×Rk×Rk?→Rn,σ∶[0,T]×Rn×Rn×Rk×Rk?→Rn×dand θ∶[0,T]×Rn×Rn×Rk×Rk×R?→Rn×lare known functions,(B(t))t∈[0,T]is a d dimensional Brownian motion on

We de fi ne

The state functional about the problem(2.1)-(2.2)is de fi ned as

where L∶[0,T]×Rn×Rk×Rk→R,Φ∶Rn→Rare known functions.Suppose

Secondly,we de fi ne the Hamiltonian(see[15]) where r∶Rn+1→Rn×lsuch that the integral in H(·)is convergent.

Before de fi ning the adjoint equation of the optimal control pair,we give some expressions, and make the descriptions of the equations much easier.

or

where f=b,σ,?f=θij,ω=x,xδ,v,vδ.The adjoint equation of(X,u)can be described as

Finally,we give some assumptions as follows∶

(A1)b,σ,θ,L,Φare continuously di ff erentiable with respect to(X(t),X(t?δ),v(t), v(t?δ)),and their di ff erential coefficients are bounded.

(A2)Assume that(2.6)has a unique solution if(A1)and some other conditions are satis fi ed.

We may assume that the variablesatis fi es the condition u(·)+∈Sinceis convex,one has uρ(·)∈where uρ(·)=u(·)+0≤ρ≤1.For the stochastic optimal control problem(2.1)–(2.4),the corresponding trajectory of uρ(·)is Xρ(·).Also, we may have some expressions of uρas follows∶

and

3 Main Results

In this section,we obtain the necessary maximum principle of stochastic optimal control problem with delay and jump di ff usion.Before introducing the main results,we prove a convergence lemma.With the aid of this lemma,we get the variational inequality which is very important for the necessary maximum principle.

In the following,we discuss the convergence relations among Xρ,X(t)and q(t).De fi ne the variational equation as follows∶

Lemma 3.1When(3.1)satis fi es the conditions(A1)–(A3),we have

where

Proof.According to the expression of?X(t),we obtain

Note the above equation,we have

where the symbols are de fi ned as

Assume that the conditions(A1)–(A3)are established.Applying It?o formula to|?X(t)|2,we have

where C1,C2,C3＞0.Since

we have

Therefore,

where

By Gronwall’s inequality,we have

The proof is completed.

Lemma 3.2Suppose that(A1)–(A3)are established.Then we have the inequality

Proof.For u(·)is the optimal control variable,we have

Dividing by ρ＞0 in the both sides,we have

When ρ→0,we get the limitation of two sides.Then

According to Lemma 3.1,we know that

Then

The proof is completed.

Now we give the necessary maximum principle of stochastic optimal control problem (2.1)–(2.4)with delay and jump di ff usion.

Theorem 3.1If(X(·),u(·))is the optimal control pair of stochastic optimal control problem(2.1)–(2.4)with delay and jump di ff usion,then we have

where

Proof.With the aid of It?o formula,we have E〈p(T),q(T)〉

In order to make the whole proof simple,we divide the right side of the above equation into eight parts,and they are de fi ned as follows∶

When t∈[?δ,0]∪[T,T+δ],q(t)=0.Then Δ4=0.

When t∈[?δ,0],q(t)=0.That is,when t∈[0,δ],q(t?δ)=0.Therefore,

When t∈(T,T+δ],p(t)=0.Therefore,

Then we have Δ5=0.

When t∈[?δ,0],q(t)=0.That is,when t∈[0,δ],q(t?δ)=0.Then we have

When t∈[T,T+δ],k(t)=0.So

Therefore,Δ6=0.

In summary,

Further,from the above equation,we have

Add the left hand side of(3.3)to the right hand side of(3.2),we have

By(2.6),we have p(T)=Φx(X(T)).Therefore,the inequality can be described as

that is,

In order to get the inequality condition which is satis fi ed by the optimal control variable u(·),we make aciculate variation to the feasible control variable

where t∈[0,T],v(·)is a feasible control variable.Therefore,

and

From(3.4),we have

When ε→0,we have

Assume that v∈U is a deterministic variable,A is an arbitrary element of σ-algebra Ft. We have

And then

By the arbitrariness of A,we have

The proof is completed.
