Ergodic BSDEs with Multiplicative and Degenerate Noise

Published: 01 January 2020 Publication History

Abstract

In this paper we study an Ergodic Markovian BSDE involving a forward process $X$ that solves an infinite dimensional forward stochastic evolution equation with multiplicative and possibly degenerate diffusion coefficient. A concavity assumption on the driver allows us to avoid the typical quantitative conditions relating the dissipativity of the forward equation and the Lipschitz constant of the driver. Although the degeneracy of the noise has to be of a suitable type, we can give a stochastic representation of a large class of Ergodic HJB equations; moreover, our general results can be applied to achieve the synthesis of the optimal feedback law in relevant examples of ergodic control problems for SPDEs.
