contents This paper studies indefinite stochastic linear-quadratic (LQ) optimal control for jump-diffusion systems with random coefficients. We construct an algebraic inverse flow from the zero-control base system, extract the semimartingale kernel of the value function, and prove that it satisfies a generalized stochastic Riccati equation with jumps (SREJ). Under a uniform convexity condition, we establish the existence and uniqueness of open-loop optimal controls for any initial pair and show that the associated matrix $\mathscr{N}(t)$ is uniformly positive definite, yielding an exact closed-loop feedback representation of the optimal control via the SREJ. A distinguishing feature of our approach is that it requires neither relaxation techniques (as in the compensator method) nor additional invertibility assumptions on the optimal state process, and it accommodates the general case where the control enters the jump part ($F \neq 0$). As an application, we analyze a financial portfolio problem with a jump-diffusion risky asset whose excess return is zero, where the investor minimizes a cost functional with a negative terminal wealth weight. The uniform convexity condition reduces to an explicit inequality among the risk aversion coefficient, volatility, jump magnitude, and risk-free rate, thereby delineating the parametric region in which an optimal strategy exists. These results extend classical indefinite LQ theory to jump-diffusion systems with random coefficients.

This paper studies indefinite stochastic linear-quadratic (LQ) optimal control for jump-diffusion systems with random coefficients. We construct an algebraic inverse flow from the zero-control base system, extract the semimartingale kernel of the value function, and prove that it satisfies a generalized stochastic Riccati equation with jumps (SREJ). Under a uniform convexity condition, we establish the existence and uniqueness of open-loop optimal controls for any initial pair and show that the associated matrix $\mathscr{N}(t)$ is uniformly positive definite, yielding an exact closed-loop feedback representation of the optimal control via the SREJ.
