A class of infinite horizon optimal control problems involving mixed quasi-norms of $L^p$-type cost functionals for the controls is discussed. These functionals enhance sparsity and switching properties of the optimal controls. The…

We consider a kind of stochastic exit time optimal control problems, in which the cost function is defined through a nonlinear backward stochastic differential equation. We study the regularity of the value function for such a control…
Risk-sensitive control has received considerable interest since the seminal work of Howard and Matheson [120] because of its ability to account for fluctuations about the mean, its connection with $H_\infty$ control, and its application to…
De Finetti's optimal reinsurance is a set of contracts, one for each risk in a portfolio, that caps the retained aggregate variance to a pre-specified level while minimizing total expected loss. The premiums are determined using the…
Previous literature shows that prevalent risk measures such as Value at Risk or Expected Shortfall are ineffective to curb excessive risk-taking by a tail-risk-seeking trader with S-shaped utility function in the context of portfolio…
Infinite-dimensional control systems with outputs are considered in the Hamiltonian formulation with generalized coordinates. An explicit scheme for constructing a dynamic observer for this class of systems is proposed with arbitrary gain…
Bellman equations of ergodic type related to risk-sensitive control are considered. We treat the case that the nonlinear term is positive quadratic form on first-order partial derivatives of solution, which includes linear exponential…

The standard approach to risk-averse control is to use the Exponential Utility (EU) functional, which has been studied for several decades. Like other risk-averse utility functionals, EU encodes risk aversion through an increasing convex…
