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…
From economics point of view, we investigate a new optimal control problem driven by a stochastic differential equation with a multi-time states cost functional. By constructing a series of first-order adjoint equations, we establish the…
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…
An optimal control problem related to the probability of transition between stable states for a thermally driven Ginzburg-Landau equation is considered. The value function for the optimal control problem with a spatial discretization is…
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…
We consider a kind of stochastic exit time optimal control problems, in which the cost function is defined through a nonlinear backward stochastic differential equation. We study the regularity of the value function for such a control…
This paper studies constrained optimal impulse control problems of a deterministic system described by a (semi)flow, where the performance measures are the discounted total costs including both the costs incurred with applying impulses as…
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…
In this paper, we analyse control affine optimal control problems with a cost functional involving the absolute value of the control. The Pontryagin extremals associated with such systems are given by (possible) concatenations of bang arcs…
We study a hybrid control system in which both discrete and continuous controls are involved. The discrete controls act on the system at a given set interface. The state of the system is changed discontinuously when the trajectory hits…
We introduce and study a notion of duality for two classes of optimization problems commonly occurring in probability theory. That is, on an abstract measurable space $(\Omega,\mathcal{F})$, we consider pairs $(E,\mathcal{G})$ where $E$ is…
In this paper, we exploit the so-called value function reformulation of the bilevel optimization problem to develop duality results for the problem. Our approach builds on Fenchel-Lagrange-type duality to establish suitable results for the…
We study the long-run properties of optimal control problems in continuous time, where the running cost of a control problem is evaluated by a probability measure over R_+. Li, Quincampoix and Renault [DCDS-A, 2016] introduced an asymptotic…
