On the Stochastic Control-Stopping Problem (2005.06789v1)

Abstract: We study the stochastic control-stopping problem when the data are of polynomial growth. The approach is based on backward stochastic dierential equations (BSDEs for short). The problem turns into the study of a specic reected BSDE with a stochastic Lipschitz coecient for which we show existence and uniqueness of the solution. We then establish its relationship with the value function of the control-stopping problem. The optimal strategy is exhibited. Finally in the Markovian framework we prove that the value function is the unique viscosity solution of the associated Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman equation.
