We study the selective and robust time-optimal rotation control of several spin-1/2 particles with different offset terms. For that purpose, the Pontryagin Maximum Principle is applied to a model of two spins, which is simple enough for…
We analyze an optimal control problem for systems of integral equations of Volterra type with two independent variables. These systems generalize both, the hyperbolic control problems for systems of Goursat-Darboux type, and the optimal…
In this paper, we discuss optimality conditions for optimization problems involving random state constraints, which are modeled in probabilistic or almost sure form. While the latter can be understood as the limiting case of the former, the…

In this paper, we prove the necessary and sufficient maximum principles (NSMPs in short) for the optimal control of systems described by a quasilinear stochastic heat equation within convex control domains, which all the coefficients…
We show that mean field optimal controls satisfy a first order optimality condition (at a.e. time) without any a priori requirement on their spatial regularity. This principle is obtained by a careful limit procedure of the Pontryagin…
The paper is devoted to deriving necessary optimality conditions in a general optimal control problem for dynamical systems governed by controlled sweeping processes with hard-constrained control actions entering both polyhedral moving sets…
In this short communication, we first recall a version of the Pontryagin maximum principle for general finite-dimensional nonlinear optimal sampled-data control problems. This result was recently obtained in [L. Bourdin and E. Tr{\'e}lat ,…

This paper outlines a novel extension of the classical Pontryagin minimum (maximum) principle to stochastic optimal control problems. Contrary to the well-known stochastic Pontryagin minimum principle involving forward-backward stochastic…
In this paper we are interested in a new type of {\it mean-field}, non-Markovian stochastic control problems with partial observations. More precisely, we assume that the coefficients of the controlled dynamics depend not only on the paths…
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…
In optimal control problems, there exist different kinds of extremals, that is, curves candidates to be solution: abnormal, normal and strictly abnormal. The key point for this classification is how those extremals depend on the cost…
We study an optimal control problem with a quadratic cost functional for non-Newtonian fluids of differential type. More precisely, we consider the system governing the evolution of a second grade fluid filling a two-dimensional bounded…
Conditional McKean-Vlasov control problems involve controlling McKean-Vlasov diffusions where the interaction occurs through the law of the state process conditionally on it staying in a domain. Introduced by Lions in his 2016 lectures at…
This paper is mainly concerned with the solutions to both forward and backward mean-field stochastic partial differential equation and the corresponding optimal control problem for mean-field stochastic partial differential equation. We…
