Abstract
Exact analytical solutions to a non-linear differential-integral equation that appears in a stochastic optimal control problem are given. The equation is satisfied by the value function in the control problem, from which the optimal control follows at once. Without the integral, the equation reduces to a Riccati differential equation.
