Showing an "obviously-optimal" control is optimal (without smoothness assumptions)
Let $\mathcal{A}\subseteq\mathbb R$ be a compact interval, $T\in\mathbb R_+$ be a finite horizon, and $g:\mathbb R\to\mathbb R_+$ be a continuous function with $g\leq 1+|\cdot|$. Consider an optimal ...

Law of motion when initial condition is perturbed
We know how to find the law of motion (Ito process) of the value function:
$$V_t(x)=E\Big{[}\int^{T}_te^{-r (s-t)}f(s,X_s)ds+e^{-r (T-t)}g(T, X_{T})|\mathcal{F}_t\Big{]}$$
such that
$$dX_t=\mu(t,X_t)...
