Abstract

In this chapter, we consider the so-called LQ problem with incomplete information aiming at obtaining more explicit results comparing with those of the previous chapters. We first consider this problem when the state is given by a linear FBSDE. After that we will specialize our results to the case when the state is governed by a BSDE only. In this case, explicit solution will be presented. Finally, we will apply our results to an optimal premium problem.
