Abstract: In stochastic control, when the intensity of the stochastic term depends on the control, the dynamic programing equation becomes fully nonlinear partial differential equation. We propose two numerical schemes: one based on the corresponding backward stochastic differential equation of second order, which is a probabilistic representation for fully nonlinear partial differential equation, and second based on the maximum principle for the backward stochastic differential equation of second order. Our numerical implementation provides promising results on the convergence of the two approaches.
