OPTIMAL RELAXED CONTROL OF DISSIPATIVE STOCHASTIC PARTIAL DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS IN BANACH SPACES

We study an optimal relaxed control problem for a class of semilinear stochastic PDEs on Banach spaces perturbed by multiplicative noise and driven by a cylindrical Wiener process. The state equation is controlled through the nonlinear part of the drift coefficient which satisfies a dissipative-type condition with respect to the state variable. The main tools of our study are the factorization method for stochastic convolutions in UMD type-2 Banach spaces and certain compactness properties of the factorization operator and of the class of Young measures on Suslin metrizable control sets.
