This paper is concerned with stochastic linear quadratic (LQ, for short) optimal control problems in an infinite horizon with constant coefficients. It is proved that the non-emptiness of the admissible control set for all initial state is equivaleznt to the L2\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$L^{2}$$\end{document}-stabilizability of the control system, which in turn is equivalent to the existence of a positive solution to an algebraic Riccati equation (ARE, for short). Different from the finite horizon case, it is shown that both the open-loop and closed-loop solvabilities of the LQ problem are equivalent to the existence of a static stabilizing solution to the associated generalized ARE. Moreover, any open-loop optimal control admits a closed-loop representation. Finally, the one-dimensional case is worked out completely to illustrate the developed theory.
