摘要:

This paper discusses discrete-time stochastic linear quadratic (LQ) problem in the infinite horizon with state and control dependent noise, where the weighting matrices in the cost function are assumed to be indefinite. The problem gives rise to a generalized algebraic Riccati equation (GARE) that involves equality and inequality constraints. The well-posedness of the indefinite LQ problem is shown to be equivalent to the feasibility of a linear matrix inequality (LMI). Moreover, the existence of a stabilizing solution to the GARE is equivalent to the attainability of the LQ problem. All the optimal controls are obtained in terms of the solution to the GARE. Finally, we give an LMI -based approach to solve the GARE via a semidefinite programming.
