For a general nonlinear control system, we study the problem of small time local attainability of a target which is the closure of an open set. When the target is smooth and locally the sublevel set of a smooth function, we develop second…

Mechanical systems are usually modeled by second-order Ordinary Differential Equations (ODE) which take the form $\ddot{q} = f(t, q, \dot{q})$. While simulation methods tailored to these equations have been studied, using them in direct…

We propose a novel reformulation of the stochastic optimal control problem as an approximate inference problem, demonstrating, that such a interpretation leads to new practical methods for the original problem. In particular we characterise…
We provide a new version of the Tikhonov theorem for both two-scale forward systems and also two-scale forward-backward systems of stochastic differential equations, which also covers the McKean-Vlasov case. Differently from what is usually…
In this work we study an optimal control problem subject to the instationary Navier-Stokes equations, where the control enters via an inhomogeneous Neumann/Do-Nothing boundary condition. Despite the Navier-Stokes equations with these…
We consider recent work of Haber and Ruthotto 2017 and Chang et al. 2018, where deep learning neural networks have been interpreted as discretisations of an optimal control problem subject to an ordinary differential equation constraint. We…
In the framework of real Hilbert spaces, we investigate first-order dynamical systems governed by monotone and continuous operators. We demonstrate that when the monotone operator flow is augmented with a Tikhonov regularization term, the…
In this work, we study the control constrained distributed optimal control of a stationary doubly diffusive flow model. For the control problem, we use a well-posedness analysis based on minimal assumptions on data and domain. We show the…
This note is concerned with an optimal control problem governed by the relativistic Maxwell-Newton-Lorentz equations, which describes the motion of charges particles in electro-magnetic fields and consists of a hyperbolic PDE system coupled…
