Summary:A stochastic linear quadratic (LQ) optimal control problem with a pointwise linear equality constraint on the terminal state is considered. A strong Lagrangian duality theorem is proved under a uniform convexity condition on the cost functional and a surjectivity condition on the linear constraint mapping. Based on the Lagrangian duality, two approaches are proposed to solve the constrained stochastic LQ problem. First, a theoretical method is given to construct the closed-form solution by the strong duality. Second, an iterative algorithm, called augmented Lagrangian method (ALM), is proposed. The strong convergence of the iterative sequence generated by ALM is proved. In addition, some sufficient conditions for the surjectivity of the linear constraint mapping are obtained.
