Numerical Approximations for Partially Observed Optimal Control of Stochastic Partial Differential Equations
摘要
In this paper, we investigate the numerical approximation of optimal control problems for a class of stochastic partial differential equations (SPDEs) under partial observation. The system dynamics evolve in an infinite-dimensional Hilbert space and are driven by a cylindrical Wiener process, while observations are available in a finite-dimensional Euclidean space. We first derive a stochastic maximum principle (SMP) characterizing necessary conditions for optimality, with the associated adjoint processes formulated as backward SPDEs. We propose a numerical scheme based on the stochastic maximum principle that iteratively updates the control using stochastic gradient descent, combined with a particle filtering algorithm to estimate the conditional distribution of the system state. Numerical experiments illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.
