Let $T>0$ fixed. We consider the optimal control problem for analytic affine systems: $\ds{\dot{x}=f\_0(x)+\sum\_{i=1}^m u\_if\_i(x)}$, with a cost of the form: $\ds{C(u)=\int\_0^T \sum\_{i=1}^m u\_i^2(t)dt}$. For this kind of systems we…

We address a class of systems for which the solution to an H-infinity optimal control problem can be given on a very simple closed form. In fact, both the control law and optimal performance value are explicitly given. The class of systems…

We consider homogenization problems in the framework of deterministic optimal control when the dynamics and running costs are completely different in two (or more) complementary domains of the space $\R^N$. For such optimal control…

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…

Inventory and queueing systems are often designed by controlling weighted combination of some time-averaged performance metrics (like cumulative holding, shortage, server-utilization or congestion costs); but real-world constraints, like…
