Abstract—We are concerned with the optimal portfolio problem under stochastic environment; in particular, we deal with the case of two independent stochastic processes in discrete variables. One process is typical random walk, which is regarded as a discrete version of the standard Brownian motion, and the other is the Poisson process. We derive a discrete Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman (HJB) equation for the value function and try to solve it. Examples are also discussed.
