We introduce a new "convolution spline" temporal approximation of time domain boundary integral equations (TDBIEs). It shares some properties of convolution quadrature (CQ), but instead of being based on an underlying ODE solver the…
We propose a simple and original approach for solving linear-quadratic mean-field stochastic control problems. We study both finite-horizon and infinite-horizon pro\-blems, and allow notably some coefficients to be stochastic. Extension to…
Solutions of stochastic Volterra (integral) equations are not Markov processes, and therefore classical methods, like dynamic programming, cannot be used to study optimal control problems for such equations. However, we show that by using…
We address the infinite-horizon minimum energy control problem for linear time-invariant finite-dimensional systems $(A, B)$. We show that the problem admits a solution if and only if $(A, B)$ is stabilizable and $A$ does not have imaginary…
