In this paper, we define and study a new class of optimal stochastic control problems which is closely related to the theory of Backward SDE's and forward-backward SDE's. The controlled process takes values in RXR and a given initial data for X(O). Then, the control problem is to find the...

We study the problem of minimal initial capital needed in order to hedge a European contengent claim without risk. The financial market presents incompleteness arising from two sources: stochastic volatility and portfolio constraints described by a closed convex set. In contrast with previous...
