There are many important practical optimization problems whose feasible regions are not known to be nonempty or not, and optimizers of the objective function with the least constraint violation prefer to be found. A natural way for dealing…
In this paper we study the limit of the value function for a two-scale, infinite-dimensional, stochastic controlled system with cylindrical noise and possibly degenerate diffusion. The limit is represented as the value function of a new…
In this paper, we study several theoretical and numerical questions concerning the null controllability problems for linear parabolic equations and systems for several dimensions. The control is distributed and acts on a small subset of the…
The article poses a general model for optimal control subject to information constraints, motivated in part by recent work of Sims and others on information-constrained decision-making by economic agents. In the average-cost optimal control…

The initial boundary value problem for a Cahn-Hilliard system subject to a dynamic boundary condition of Allen-Cahn type is treated. The vanishing of the surface diffusion on the dynamic boundary condition is the point of emphasis. By the…

This paper studies the utility maximization problem with changing time horizons in the incomplete Brownian setting. We first show that the primal value function and the optimal terminal wealth are continuous with respect to the time horizon…
We introduce an approximation method to solve an optimal control problem via the Lagrange dual of its weak formulation. It is based on a sum-of-squares representation of the Hamiltonian, and extends a previous method from polynomial…

We study the asymptotic behavior of solutions to the fully nonlinear Hamilton-Jacobi equation $H(x, Du, \lambda u) = 0$ in $\mathbb{R}^n$ as $\lambda \to 0^+$. Under the assumption that the Aubry set is localized, we employ a variational…
