contents In this article, we consider a stochastic linear quadratic control problem with partial observation. A near optimal control in the weak formulation is characterized. The main features of this paper are the presence of the control in the diffusion term of the state equation, the circular dependence between the control process and the filtration generated by the observation, and the observation process contains an unbounded drift term. We address these difficulties by first restricting the control to a smaller domain, which enables us to apply the Girsanov theorem using a conditional argument and thereby break the circular dependence. Subsequently, we study the restricted problem using a non-standard variation method. The desired near optimal control is then obtained by taking the limit of an approximating sequence.
