In this paper, we introduce turnpike arguments in the context of optimal state estimation. In particular, we show that the optimal solution of the state estimation problem involving all available past data serves as turnpike for the…

In this manuscript, we study the turnpike property in stochastic discrete-time optimal control problems for interacting agents. Extending previous deterministic results, we show that the turnpike effect persists in the presence of noise…

We study the convergence of entropically regularized optimal transport to optimal transport. The main result is concerned with the convergence of the associated optimizers and takes the form of a large deviations principle quantifying the…

In this paper, we consider a linear quadratic (LQ) optimal control problem in both finite and infinite dimensions. We derive an asymptotic expansion of the value function as the fixed time horizon T tends to infinity. The leading term in…

In this manuscript, we consider a control system governed by a general ordinary differential equation on a Riemannian manifold, with its endpoints satisfying some inequalities and equalities, and its control constrained to a closed convex…

We establish the turnpike property for linear quadratic control problems for which the control operator is admissible and may be unbounded, under quite general and natural assumptions. The turnpike property has been well studied for bounded…

We consider optimal transport problems where the cost is optimized over controlled dynamics and the end time is free. Unlike the classical setting, the search for optimal transport plans also requires the identification of optimal "stopping…

Bertrand's theorem asserts that any spherically symmetric natural Hamiltonian system in Euclidean 3-space which possesses stable circular orbits and whose bounded trajectories are all periodic is either a harmonic oscillator or a Kepler…

A coordinate-free proof of the Maximum Principle is provided in the specific case of an optimal control problem with fixed time. Our treatment heavily relies on a special notion of variation of curves that consist of a concatenation of…

This work is concerned with an optimal control problem on a Riemannian manifold, for which two typical cases are considered. The first case is when the endpoint is free. For this case, the control set is assumed to be a separable metric…
