We study the minimization of the expected costs under stochastic constraint at the terminal time. Our first main result says that for a power type of costs, the value function is the minimal positive solution of a second order semi-linear ordinary differential equation (ODE). Our second main result establishes the optimal control. In addition we show that the case of exponential costs leads to a trivial optimal control. All our proofs are based on the martingale approach.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
