Stochastic linear quadratic optimal control problems with regime-switching jumps in infinite horizon

This paper investigates a stochastic linear-quadratic (SLQ, for short) control problem regulated by a time-invariant Markov chain in infinite horizon. Under the L²-stability framework, we first study a class of linear backward stochastic differential equations (BSDE, for short) in infinite horizon. And then, we discuss the open-loop and closed-loop solvabilities of the SLQ problem. The open-loop solvability is characterized by the solvability of a system of coupled forward-backward stochastic differential equations (FBSDE, for short) in infinite horizon and the convexity of the cost functional, and the closed-loop solvability is shown that to be equivalent to the open-loop solvability, which in turn is equivalent to the existence of a static stabilizing solution to the associated constrained coupled algebra Riccati equations (CAREs, for short). Using the Hilbert space method, we provide a sufficient verifiable condition to ensure the SLQ problem is solvable. Finally, we also solve a class of discounted SLQ problems and give two concrete examples to illustrate the results developed in the earlier sections.
