This work addresses a switching control problem under which the cost associated with the changes of regimes is allowed to have discontinuities in time. Our main contribution is to show several characterizations of the optimal cost function…
We investigate an optimal control problem for a diffusion whose drift and running cost are merely measurable in the state variable. Such low regularity rules out the use of Pontryagin's maximum principle and also invalidates the standard…
We study the problem of controlling the free surface for a two dimensional solid container in the context of the gravity waves and the sloshing problem. By using conformal maps and the Dirichlet-Neumann operator, the problem is formulated…
We study the effect of advection and small diffusion on passive tracers. The advecting velocity field is assumed to have mean zero and to possess time-periodic stream lines. Using a canonical transform to action-angle variables followed by…
