On the Time-Inconsistent Deterministic Linear-Quadratic Control

8 May 2021  ·  Hongyan Cai, Danhong Chen, Yunfei Peng, Wei Wei ·

A fundamental theory of deterministic linear-quadratic (LQ) control is the equivalent relationship between control problems, two-point boundary value problems and Riccati equations. In this paper, we extend the equivalence to a general time-inconsistent deterministic LQ problem, where the inconsistency arises from non-exponential discount functions. By studying the solvability of the Riccati equation, we show the existence and uniqueness of the linear equilibrium for the time-inconsistent LQ problem.
