In optimal control problems, there exist different kinds of extremals, that is, curves candidates to be solution: abnormal, normal and strictly abnormal. The key point for this classification is how those extremals depend on the cost…
In this work, we consider optimal control problems for mechanical systems on vector spaces with fixed initial and free final state and a quadratic Lagrange term. Specifically, the dynamics is described by a second order ODE containing an…
We study time-inconsistent recursive stochastic control problems, i.e., for which the Bellman principle of optimality does not hold. For this class of problems classical optimal controls may fail to exist, or to be relevant in practice, and…
In this paper, we derive first-order Pontryagin optimality conditions for risk-averse stochastic optimal control problems subject to final time inequality constraints, and whose costs are general, possibly non-smooth finite coherent risk…

In this short communication, we first recall a version of the Pontryagin maximum principle for general finite-dimensional nonlinear optimal sampled-data control problems. This result was recently obtained in [L. Bourdin and E. Tr{\'e}lat ,…
This paper introduces a framework for solving time-autonomous nonlinear infinite horizon optimal control problems, under the assumption that all minimizers satisfy Pontryagin's necessary optimality conditions. In detail, we use methods from…

Optimal control deals with optimization problems in which variables steer a dynamical system, and its outcome contributes to the objective function. Two classical approaches to solving these problems are Dynamic Programming and the…
The famous proof of the Pontryagin maximum principle for control problems on a finite horizon bases on the needle variation technique, as well as the separability concept of cones created by disturbances of the trajectories. In this…

In this work we recast parametrized time dependent optimal control problems governed by partial differential equations in a saddle point formulation and we propose reduced order methods as an effective strategy to solve them. Indeed, on one…
