Stochastic Maximum Principle for a PDEs with noise and control on the boundary

Abstract: In this paper we prove necessary conditions for optimality of a stochastic control problem for a class of stochastic partial differential equations that is controlled through the boundary. This kind of problems can be interpreted as a stochastic control problem for an evolution system in an Hilbert space. The regularity of the solution of the adjoint equation, that is a backward stochastic equation in infinite dimension, plays a crucial role in the formulation of the maximum principle.
