Regularization plays a key role in a variety of optimization formulations of inverse problems. A recurring theme in regularization approaches is the selection of regularization parameters, and their effect on the solution and on the optimal…
In this work, we consider the local Cahn-Hilliard-Navier-Stokes equation with regular potential in two dimensional bounded domain. We formulate distributed optimal control problem as the minimization of a suitable cost functional subject to…
We study the Heston model for pricing European options on stocks with stochastic volatility. This is a Black\--Scholes\--type equation whose spatial domain for the logarithmic stock price $x\in \RR$ and the variance $v\in (0,\infty)$ is the…
We consider the control problem with \textit{exit time}. Unlike the Bolza and Mayer problems, in this problem the terminal time of the trajectories is not fixed, but it is the first time at which they reach a given closed subset -…
