Long-Time Behaviors of Stochastic Linear-Quadratic Optimal Control Problems

This paper investigates the asymptotic behavior of the solution to a linear-quadratic stochastic optimal control problems. The so-called probability cell problem is introduced the first time. It serves as the probability interpretation of the well-known cell problem in the homogenization of Hamilton-Jacobi equations. By establishing a connection between this problem and the ergodic cost problem, we reveal the turnpike properties of the linear-quadratic stochastic optimal control problems from various perspectives.
