This paper has a two-folded purpose. First, we attempt to outline the development of the turnpike theorems in the the last several decades. Second, we study turnpike theorems in finite-horizon two-person zero-sum Markov games on a general…

In this paper we study optimal control problems governed by a semilinear elliptic equation. The equation is nonmonotone due to the presence of a convection term, despite the monotonocity of the nonlinear term. The resulting operator is…
This paper deals with the analysis of the internal control with constraint of positive kind of a parabolic PDE with nonlinear diffusion when the time horizon is large enough. The minimal controllability time will be strictly positive. We…

We develop an asymptotical control theory for one of the simplest distributed oscillating systems, namely, for a closed string under a bounded load applied to a single distinguished point. We find exact classes of string states that admit…
This paper presents a technique to drive the state of a constrained nonlinear system to a specified target state in finite time, when the system suffers a partial loss in control authority. Our technique builds on a recent method to control…
Our aim is to present a new model which encompasses pace optimization and motor control effort for a runner on a fixed distance. We see that for long races, the long term behaviour is well approximated by a turnpike problem. We provide…
We consider the singular optimal control problem of minimizing the energy supply of linear dissipative port-Hamiltonian descriptor systems subject to control and terminal state constraints. To this end, after reducing the problem to an ODE…

We consider controlled martingales with bounded steps where the controller is allowed at each step to choose the distribution of the next step, and where the goal is to hit a fixed ball at the origin at time $n$. We show that the algebraic…
We investigate the transient times for the onset of control of steady states by time-delayed feedback. The optimization of control by minimising the transient time before control becomes effective is discussed analytically and numerically,…
We study boundary regional controllability problems for a class of semilinear fractional systems. Sufficient conditions for regional boundary controllability are proved by assuming that the associated linear system is approximately…
We discuss the turnpike property for optimal investment and consumption problems. We find there exists a threshold value that determines the turnpike property for investment policy. The threshold value only depends on the Sharpe ratio, the…
In this paper, we investigate system theoretic properties of transient average constrained economic model predictive control (MPC) without terminal constraints. We show that the optimal open-loop solution passes by the optimal steady-state…
We consider the problem of minimizing the entropy, energy, or exergy production for state transitions of irreversible port-Hamiltonian systems subject to control constraints. Via a dissipativity-based analysis we show that optimal solutions…
