Extract

We consider an analogue of classical calculus of variations, in which deterministic comparison curves are replaced by stochastic processes xt, of the form with ut a control applied at time t and wt a brownian motion. Connections with stochastic mechanics and non-linear filtering are discussed, as well as the deterministic limit as λ → 0.
