In this note, we consider an optimal control problem associated to a differential equation driven by a H\"{o}lder continuous function g of index greater than 1/2. We split our study in two cases. If the coefficient of dg\_t does not depend…
The optimal control problem of stochastic systems is commonly solved via robust or scenario-based optimization methods, which are both challenging to scale to long optimization horizons. We cast the optimal control problem of a stochastic…
