In this paper we introduce a concept of "regulated function" $v(t,x)$ of two variables, which reduces to the classical definition when $v$ is independent of $t$. We then consider a scalar conservation law of the form $u_t+F(v(t,x),u)_x=0$,…
In optimal control problems defined on stratified domains, the dynamics and the running cost may have discontinuities on a finite union of submanifolds of RN. In [8, 5], the corresponding value function is characterized as the unique…
We investigate the asymptotic properties of a finite-time horizon linear-quadratic optimal control problem driven by a multiscale stochastic process with multiplicative Brownian noise. We approach the problem by considering the associated…
We study a multiscale stochastic optimal control problem subject to state constraints on the slow variable. To address this class of problems, we develop a rigorous theoretical framework based on singular perturbation analysis, tailored to…
We prove two duality descriptions of the value function for a generic stochastic optimal problem. These descriptions also hold when the diffusion is controlled, a case left open by the literature so far.
We consider an infinite horizon discounted optimal control problem for piecewise deterministic Markov processes, where a piecewise open-loop control acts continuously on the jump dynamics and on the deterministic flow. For this class of…
