Optimal solution of investment problems via linear parabolic equations generated by Kalman filter

We consider optimal investment problems for a diffusion market model with non-observable random drifts that evolve as an Ito's process. Admissible strategies do not use direct observations of the market parameters, but rather use historical stock prices. For a non-linear problem with a general...

Description
Summary:We consider optimal investment problems for a diffusion market model with non-observable random drifts that evolve as an Ito's process. Admissible strategies do not use direct observations of the market parameters, but rather use historical stock prices. For a non-linear problem with a general performance criterion, the optimal portfolio strategy is expressed via the solution of a scalar minimization problem and a linear parabolic equation with coefficients generated by the Kalman filter.
