abstract

  • The paper provides a systematic way for finding a partial differential equation that directly characterizes the optimal control, in the framework of one-dimensional stochastic control problems of Mayer
    type, with no constraints on the controls. The results obtained are
    applied to continuous-time portfolio problems.
