Abstract

In the present paper, our aim is to focus on the problem of optimal control under a risk-sensitive performance functional, where the system is given by a forward stochastic differential volterra equation. The risk-neutral control system has been used as a preliminary step, where the set of admissible controls is convex, and the optimal solution exists, the necessary as well as sufficient optimality conditions for risk-sensitive performance are proved.
