Variational methods have been used to study stochastic control for long, see Bensoussan (1982) and Bensoussan-Lions (1978) for the early works. More precisely, variational approaches apply to the study of Bellman equation as a parabolic…

Semi-infinite programming can be used to model a large variety of complex optimization problems. The simple description of such problems comes at a price: semi-infinite problems are often harder to solve than finite nonlinear problems. In…
