Abstract

This paper is concerned with a fully coupled forward-backward stochastic optimal control problem where the controlled system is driven by Lévy process, while the forward state is constrained in a convex set at the terminal time. The authors use an equivalent backward formulation to deal with the terminal state constraint, and then obtain a stochastic maximum principle by Ekeland’s variational principle. Finally, the result is applied to the utility optimization problem in a financial market.
