In this paper we consider nonautonomous optimal control problems of infinite horizon type, whose control actions are given by $L^1$-functions. We verify that the value function is locally Lipschitz. The equivalence between dynamic…
Eigenvalue estimate for the Dirac-Witten operator is given on bounded domains (with smooth boundary) of spacelike hypersurfaces satisfying the dominant energy condition, under four natural boundary conditions (MIT, APS, modified APS, and…
This paper is concerned with the control properties of the Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) equation posed on a bounded interval with a distributed control. When the control region is an arbitrary open subdomain, we prove the null controllability of…
One of the main topics of extreme value analysis is to estimate the extreme value index, an important parameter that controls the tail behavior of the distribution. In many cases, estimating the extreme value index of the target variable…
The comparative statics of the optimal portfolios across individuals is carried out for a continuous-time complete market model, where the risky assets price process follows a joint geometric Brownian motion with time-dependent and…
We study the linear-quadratic optimal control problem for infinite-dimensional dissipative systems with possibly indefinite cost functional. Under the assumption that a storage function exists, we show that this indefinite optimal control…
This work investigates the optimal control of the variable-exponent subdiffusion, which extends the work [Gunzburger and Wang, {\it SIAM J. Control Optim.} 2019] to the variable-exponent case to account for the multiscale and crossover…
This paper deals with the insensitizing controllability property of the quasilinear parabolic equation with dynamic boundary conditions. This problem can be reformulated as a null controllability problem for a cascade quasilinear system…
Reinforcement Learning (RL) has achieved tremendous success in recent years. However, the classical foundations of RL do not account for the risk sensitivity of the objective function, which is critical in various fields, including…
We consider optimal control problem with an integral cost which is a mean of a given function. As a particular case, the cost concerned is the Ces\`aro average. The limit of the value with Ces\`aro mean when the horizon tends to infinity is…
In this paper, we prove both necessary and sufficient maximum principles for infinite horizon discounted control problems of stochastic Volterra integral equations with finite delay and a convex control domain. The corresponding adjoint…
This paper is concerned with a backward stochastic linear-quadratic (LQ, for short) optimal control problem with deterministic coefficients. The weighting matrices are allowed to be indefinite, and cross-product terms in the control and…
We consider a general formulation of the random horizon Principal-Agent problem with a continuous payment and a lump-sum payment at termination. In the European version of the problem, the random horizon is chosen solely by the principal…
Given a linear control system in a Hilbert space with a bounded control operator, we establish a characterization of exponential stabilizability in terms of an observability inequality. Such dual characterizations are well known for exact…
For Dirac operators, which have discrete spectra, the concept of eigenvalues gradient is given and formulae for this gradients are obtained in terms of normalized eigenfunctions. It is shown how the gradient is being used to describe…
In [15] we proposed a set of sufficient conditions for the approximate controllability of a discrete-spectrum bilinear Schr\"odinger equation. These conditions are expressed in terms of the controlled potential and of the eigenpairs of the…
New versions of the set-valued average value at risk for multivariate risks are introduced by generalizing the well-known certainty equivalent representation to the set-valued case. The first "regulator" version is independent from any…
We study the Linear-Quadratic optimal control problem for a general class of infinite-dimensional passive systems, allowing for unbounded input and output operators. We show that under mild assumptions, the finite cost condition is always…
We consider a class of exit--time control problems for nonlinear systems with a nonnegative vanishing Lagrangian. In general, the associated PDE may have multiple solutions, and known regularity and stability properties do not hold. In this…
