On the Linear Quadratic Optimal Control for Systems Described by Singularly Perturbed Itô Differential Equations with Two Fast Time Scales

Abstract

In this paper a stochastic optimal control problem described by a quadratic performance criterion and a linear controlled system modeled by a system of singularly perturbed Itô differential equations with two fast time scales is considered. The asymptotic structure of the stabilizing solution (satisfying a prescribed sign condition) to the corresponding stochastic algebraic Riccati equation is derived. Furthermore, a near optimal control whose gain matrices do not depend upon small parameters is discussed.
