Abstract:
Necessary conditions of optimality are derived for the stochastic control problem for a dynamical system with variable structure. The system is described by stochastic differential equations, when a control enters the drift and diffusion coefficients. The maximum principle for some non-linear stochastic control system with endpoint constraint is proved.
