In this note we show how canonical transformations reveal hidden convexity properties for deterministic optimal control problems, which in turn result in global existence of $C^{1,1}_{loc}$ solutions to first order Hamilton--Jacobi--Bellman…
This paper is concerned with providing the maximum principle for a control problem governed by a stochastic evolution system on a separable Hilbert space. In particular, necessary conditions for optimality for this stochastic optimal…
Variational and Bayesian methods are two approaches that have been widely used to solve image reconstruction problems. In this paper, we propose original connections between Hamilton--Jacobi (HJ) partial differential equations and a broad…
We present comparison principles, Lipschitz estimates and study state constraints problems for degenerate, second-order Hamilton-Jacobi equations.
The purpose of this paper is to establish first and second order necessary optimality conditions for optimal control problems of stochastic evolution equations with control and state constraints. The control acts both in the drift and…

In this paper we derive for a controlled stochastic evolution system on a Hilbert space sufficient conditions for optimality. Our result is derived by using its so-called adjoint backward stochastic evolution equation.
In this paper we establish H\"older continuity estimates for viscosity solutions to first order Hamilton-Jacobi equations linked to linear control systems satisfying the Kalman rank condition. Our model Hamiltonians are non-convex in the…

We address the problem of optimal path planning for a simple nonholonomic vehicle in the presence of obstacles. Most current approaches are either split hierarchically into global path planning and local collision avoidance, or neglect some…
