Abstract
- We consider a class of stochastic optimal control problems with partial observation, and study their approximation by discrete-time control problems. We establish a convergence result by using the weak convergence technique of Kushner and Dupuis [Numerical Methods for Stochastic Control Problems in Continuous Time, Springer, New York], together with the notion of relaxed control rule introduced by El Karoui, Huú Nguyen and Jeanblanc-Picqué [SIAM J. Control Optim., 26 (1988), pp. 1025--1061]. In particular, with a well chosen discrete-time control system, we obtain a first implementable numerical algorithm (with convergence) for the partially observed control problem. Moreover, our discrete-time approximation result would open the door to study convergence of more general numerical approximation methods, such as machine learning based methods. Finally, we illustrate our convergence result by numerical experiments on a partially observed control problem in a linear quadratic setting. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
