For periodic linear control systems with bounded control range, an autonomized system is introduced by adding the phase to the state of the system. Here a unique control set (i.e., a maximal set of approximate controllability) with nonvoid…

In this paper we study the approximate controllability and existence of optimal control of impulsive fractional semilinear delay differential equations with non-local conditions. We use Sadovskii's fixed point theorem, semigroup theory of…

We consider an exit-time minimum problem with a running cost, $l\geq 0$ and unbounded controls. The occurrence of points where $l=0$ can be regarded as a transversality loss. Furthermore, since controls range over unbounded sets, the family…

We obtain upper bounds for the isoperimetric quotients of extrinsic balls of submanifolds in ambient spaces which have a lower bound on their radial sectional curvatures. The submanifolds are themselves only assumed to have lower bounds on…

The `local time on curves' formula of Peskir provides a stochastic change of variables formula for a function whose derivatives may be discontinuous over a time-dependent curve, a setting which occurs often in applications in optimal…

This paper is devoted to the analysis of a finite horizon discrete-time stochastic optimal control problem, in presence of constraints. We study the regularity of the value function which comes from the dynamic programming algorithm. We…

We prove a version of Gromov's compactness theorem for pseudo-holomorphic curves which holds locally in the target symplectic manifold. This result applies to sequences of curves with an unbounded number of free boundary components, and in…

This article addresses structure-preserving smooth approximation of semiconcave functions. semiconcave functions are of particular interest because they naturally arise in a variety of variational problems, including {optimal feedback…

We determine the globally minimum time $T$ needed to translate a thin submerged flat plate a given distance parallel to its surface within a work budget. The Reynolds number for the flow is assumed to be large so that the drag on the plate…

In this paper, problems of optimal control are considered where in the objective function, in addition to the control cost there is a tracking term that measures the distance to a desired stationary state. The tracking term is given by some…

We consider the simplest optimal control problem with one nonregular mixed inequality constraint, i.e. when its gradient in the control can vanish on the zero surface. Using the Dubovitskii--Milyutin theorem on the approximate separation of…

This paper is the first part of our series work to establish pointwise second-order necessary conditions for stochastic optimal controls. In this part, both drift and diffusion terms may contain the control variable but the control region…

An exponential turnpike property for a semilinear control problem is proved. The state-target is assumed to be small, whereas the initial datum can be arbitrary. Turnpike results are also obtained for large targets, requiring that the…

This paper investigates the central role played by the Hamiltonian in continuous-time nonlinear optimal control problems. We show that the strict convexity of the Hamiltonian in the control variable is a sufficient condition for the…

Consider an integral Brakke flow $(\mu_t)$, $t\in [0,T]$, inside some ball in Euclidean space. If $\mu_{0}$ has small height, its measure does not deviate too much from that of a plane and if $\mu_{T}$ is non-empty, then Brakke's local…

This paper establishes a unified framework connecting local controllability, necessary conditions for optimality, and attainability in free-time optimal control problems. The central object of our investigation is the $\Lambda$-set, which…

The scope of this paper is the analysis and approximation of an optimal control problem related to the Allen-Cahn equation. A tracking functional is minimized subject to the Allen-Cahn equation using distributed controls that satisfy…

Controlling the shapes of surfaces provides a novel way to direct self-assembly of colloidal particles on those surfaces and may be useful for material design. This motivates the investigation of an optimal control problem for surface shape…

We consider a bounded Lipschitz domain $\Omega\subseteq\mathbb{R}^3$ with sufficiently smooth boundary and prove piecewise Sobolev regularity of vector fields that have piecewise regular curl and divergence, but may be discontinuous across…

For a general nonlinear control system, we study the problem of small time local attainability of a target which is the closure of an open set. When the target is smooth and locally the sublevel set of a smooth function, we develop second…
