Let $C(t)$, $t\geq0$ be a Lipschitz set-valued map with closed and (mildly non-)convex values and $f(t, x,u)$ be a map, Lipschitz continuous w.r.t. $x$. We consider the problem of reaching a target $S$ within the graph of $C$ subject to the…

The minimum-time control problem consists in finding a control policy that will drive a given dynamic system from a given initial state to a given target state (or a set of states) as quickly as possible. This is a well-known challenging…
We develop a discrete analogue of Hamilton-Jacobi theory in the framework of discrete Hamiltonian mechanics. The resulting discrete Hamilton-Jacobi equation is discrete only in time. We describe a discrete analogue of Jacobi's solution and…

We consider an optimal control on networks in the spirit of the works of Achdou et al. (2013) and Imbert et al. (2013). The main new feature is that there are entry (or exit) costs at the edges of the network leading to a possible…

This paper is devoted to a viscosity solution theory of the stochastic Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman equation in the Wasserstein spaces for the mean-field type control problem which allows for random coefficients and may thus be non-Markovian.…
We consider an initial value problem for a Hamilton--Jacobi equation with a quadratic and degenerate Hamiltonian. Our Hamiltonian comes from the dynamics of $N$-peakon in the Camassa--Holm equation. It is given by a quadratic form with a…
Time-consistency is an essential requirement in risk sensitive optimal control problems to make rational decisions. An optimization problem is time consistent if its solution policy does not depend on the time sequence of solving the…
