We introduce a class of backward stochastic differential equations (BSDEs) on the Wasserstein space of probability measures. This formulation extends the classical correspondence between BSDEs, stochastic control, and partial differential…
We propose a deep learning approach to compute mean field control problems with individual noises. The problem consists of the Fokker-Planck (FP) equation and the Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman (HJB) equation. Using the differential of the…
This paper continues the study of controlled interacting particle systems with common noise started in [W. Gangbo, S. Mayorga and A. \'{S}wi\k{e}ch, SIAM J. Math. Anal. 53 (2021), no. 2, 1320--1356] and [S. Mayorga and A. \'{S}wi\k{e}ch,…
Optimal control and the associated second-order path-dependent Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman (PHJB) equation are studied for unbounded functional stochastic evolution systems in Hilbert spaces. The notion of viscosity solution without…

This is a brief introduction to control theory in finite-dimensional spaces. The material is partly based on my lectures for the Master 1 program in Math\'ematiques et applications at Sorbonne University, delivered over the past few years.…
A major challenge to the control of infinite dimensional quantum systems is the irreversibility which is often present in the system dynamics. Here we consider systems with discrete-spectrum Hamiltonians operating over a Schwartz space…
In this paper, we explore a new class of stochastic control problems characterized by specific control constraints. Specifically, the admissible controls are subject to the ratcheting constraint, meaning they must be non-decreasing over…
We investigate mean field game systems under invariance conditions for the state space, otherwise called {\it viability conditions} for the controlled dynamics. First we analyze separately the Hamilton-Jacobi and the Fokker-Planck…
We study the convergence problem for mean field control, also known as optimal control of McKean-Vlasov dynamics. We assume that the data is smooth but not convex, and thus the limiting value function $\mathcal{U} :[0,T] \times…
This paper studies a class of time-inconsistent mean field control (MFC) problems in the presence of common noise under non-exponential discount and joint law dependence of both state and control. We investigate the closed-loop…
We study a high-dimensional stochastic optimization problem which features both control and stopping. In particular, a central planner steers a large population of particles, and can also remove particles at any time by paying a penalty. In…
Mean-field control problems have received continuous interest over the last decade. Despite being more intricate than in classical optimal control, the linear-quadratic setting can still be tackled through Riccati equations. Remarkably, we…
In this paper, we propose and study the stochastic path-dependent Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman (SPHJB) equation that arises naturally from the optimal stochastic control problem of stochastic differential equations with path-dependence and…
We perform a systematic study of optimization problems in the Wasserstein spaces that are analogs of infinite horizon, deterministic control problems. We derive necessary conditions on action minimizing paths and present a sufficient…
The Hamilton Jacobi Bellman Equation (HJB) provides the globally optimal solution to large classes of control problems. Unfortunately, this generality comes at a price, the calculation of such solutions is typically intractible for systems…
We study a class of optimal control problems with state constraints where the state equation is a differential equation with delays. This class includes some problems arising in economics, in particular the so-called models with time to…
We study the optimal control of mean-field systems with heterogeneous and asymmetric interactions. This leads to considering a family of controlled Brownian diffusion processes with dynamics depending on the whole collection of marginal…
We solve in mild sense Hamilton Jacobi Bellman equations, both in an infinite dimensional Hilbert space and in a Banach space, with lipschitz Hamiltonian and lipschitz continuous final condition, and asking only a weak regularizing property…
A mean field type control system is a dynamical system in the Wasserstein space describing an evolution of a large population of agents with mean-field interaction under a control of a unique decision maker. We develop the viability theorem…
