Generalized Solutions of the Hamilton-Jacobi Equation of Stochastic-Control
A second-order generalized derivative based on Brownian motion is introduced. Using this derivative, an Ito-type formula is derived for functions f(t, x), which are continuously differentiable in x with Lipschitz derivative and are Lipschitz continuous in t. It is then shown that the value function of a stochastic control problem is a "generalized" solution of a second-order Hamilton-Jacobi equation. Such solutions are analogous to the Clarke generalized solutions of first-order Hamilton-Jacobi equations. Finally, it is shown that any "generalized" solution is a viscosity subsolution and a viscosity solution is a "generalized" solution.
