Optimal control of stochastic differential equations with random impulses and the Hamilton–Jacobi–Bellman equation

Abstract In this article, we study the optimal control of stochastic differential equations with random impulses. We optimize the performance index and add the influence of random impulses to the performance index with a random compensation function. Using the idea of stochastic analysis and dynamic programming principle, a new Hamilton–Jacobi–Bellman (HJB) equation is obtained, and the existence and uniqueness of its viscosity solution are proved.
