Optimal stochastic control with recursive cost functionals of stochastic differential systems reflected in a domain
ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations, Tome 21 (2015) no. 4, pp. 1150-1177.

The paper is concerned with optimal control of a stochastic differential system reflected in a domain. The cost functional is implicitly defined via a generalized backward stochastic differential equation developed by Pardoux and Zhang [Probab. Theory Relat. Fields 110 (1998) 535–558]. The value function is shown to be the unique viscosity solution to the associated Hamilton–Jacobi–Bellman equation, which is a fully nonlinear parabolic partial differential equation with a nonlinear Neumann boundary condition. The proof requires new estimates for the reflected stochastic differential system.
