We study a stochastic control problem for nonlinear systems governed by stochastic differential equations with irregular drift. The drift coefficient is assumed to decompose as $b(t,x,a)=b_1(t,x)+b_2(x)b_3(t,a)$, where $b_1$ is bounded and…

We propose a simple and original approach for solving linear-quadratic mean-field stochastic control problems. We study both finite-horizon and infinite-horizon problems, and allow notably some coefficients to be stochastic. Our method is…
In this paper, we consider a class of stochastic control problems for stochastic differential equations with random coefficients. The control domain need not to be convex but the control process is not allowed to enter in diffusion term.…
This paper is concerned with a time-inconsistent stochastic optimal control problem in an infinite time horizon with a non-degenerate diffusion in the state equation. A major assumption is that people become rational after a large time.…
In this paper, we consider a varying terminal time structure for the stochastic optimal control problem under state constraints, in which the terminal time varies with the mean value of the state. In this new stochastic optimal control…
