We consider a stochastic control problem where the set of strict (classical) controls is not necessarily convex and the the variable control has two components, the first being absolutely continuous and the second singular. The system is…
It is well-known that assumptions of monotonicity in size-bias couplings may be used to prove simple, yet powerful, Poisson approximation results. Here we show how these assumptions may be relaxed, establishing explicit Poisson…
The objective of this paper is to weaken the Lipschitz condition to a monotonicity condition and to study the corresponding Pontryagin stochastic maximum principle (SMP) for a mean-field optimal control problem under monotonicity…
In this work we consider the primal mixed variational formulation of the Poisson equation with a line source. The analysis and approximation of this problem is non-standard as the line source causes the solutions to be singular. We start by…

This paper develops a time-inconsistent and path-dependent singular control framework incorporating a running minimum process. We derive a verification theorem that characterizes equilibria under substantially weaker regularity conditions…
To understand the formations of singularities of the Euler-Poisson system with vacuum, we revisit Makino's star model in this article. We first remedy, to some extent, the inconveniences of Makino's star model and remove its imposed…
Initially introduced in the framework of quantum control, the so-called "monotonic algorithms" have demonstrated excellent numerical performance when dealing with bilinear optimal control problems. This paper presents a unified formulation…

An interesting observation is that most pairs of weakly homogeneous mappings have no strongly monotonic property, which is one of the key conditions to ensure the unique solvability of the generalized variational inequality. This paper…
