Description
Summary:This paper first makes an attempt to investigate the near-optimal control of systems governed by fully nonlinear coupled forward-backward stochastic differential equations (FBSDEs) under the assumption of a convex control domain. By Ekeland’s variational principle and some basic estimates for state processes and adjoint processes, we establish the necessary conditions for any ε-near optimal control in a local form with an error order of exact ε1/2. Moreover, under additional convexity conditions on Hamiltonian function, we prove that an ε-maximum condition in terms of the Hamiltonian in the integral form is sufficient for near-optimality of order ε1/2.
