This paper is concerned with a stochastic linear quadratic (LQ, for short) optimal control problem. The notions of open-loop and closed-loop solvabilities are introduced. A simple example shows that these two solvabilities are different.…

We provide global and semi-global controllability results for hyperbolic conservation laws on a bounded domain, with a general (not necessarily convex)flux and a time-dependent source term acting as a control. The results are achieved for,…
