We consider weak optimal problems (possibly entropically penalized) incorporating both soft and hard (including the case of the martingale condition) moment constraints. Even in the special case of the martingale optimal transport problem,…
We study the fixed point problem for a system of multivariate operators that are coordinate-wise monotone (i.e., nondecreasing or nonincreasing in each of the variables, independently), in the setting of quasi-ordered sets. We show that…
This paper investigates the existence and uniqueness of solutions, as well as the ergodicity and exponential mixing to invariant measures, and limit theorems for a class of McKean-Vlasov SPDEs with locally weak monotonicity. In particular,…

We derive a Maximum Principle for optimal control problems with constraints given by the coupling of a system of ODEs and a PDE of Vlasov-type. Such problems arise naturally as ${\Gamma}$-limits of optimal control problems subject to ODE…
We address consecutively two problems. First we introduce a class of so called Fre'chet generalized controls for a multi-input control-affine system with non-commuting controlled vector fields. For each control of the class one is able to…
