This is an overview of the work of the authors and their collaborators on the characterization of risk sensitive costs and rewards in terms of an abstract Collatz-Wielandt formula and in case of rewards, also a controlled version of the…
We address the variational problem for the generalized principal eigenvalue on $\mathbb{R}^d$ of linear and semilinear elliptic operators associated with nondegenerate diffusions controlled through the drift. We establish the…
We derive a variational formula for the optimal growth rate of reward in the infinite horizon risk-sensitive control problem for discrete time Markov decision processes with compact metric state and action spaces, extending a formula of…
We consider a class of diffusions controlled through the drift and jump size, and driven by a jump L\'evy process and a nondegenerate Wiener process, and we study infinite horizon (ergodic) risk-sensitive control problem for this model. We…
Path Integral Control methods were developed for stochastic optimal control covering a wide class of finite horizon formulations with control affine nonlinear dynamics. Characteristic for this class is that the HJB equation is linear and…
We study risk-sensitive control of continuous time Markov chains taking values in discrete state space. We study both finite and infinite horizon problems. In the finite horizon problem we characterise the value function via HJB equation…
We address the variational formulation of the risk-sensitive reward problem for non-degenerate diffusions on $\mathbb{R}^d$ controlled through the drift. We establish a variational formula on the whole space and also show that the…
This article recalls the recent work on a linear programming formulation of infinite horizon risk-sensitive control via its equivalence with a single controller game, using a classic work of Vrieze. This is then applied to a constrained…
We present a theory of optimal control for McKean-Vlasov stochastic differential equations with infinite time horizon and discounted gain functional. We first establish the well-posedness of the state equation and of the associated control…
Model Predictive Control has emerged as a popular tool for robots to generate complex motions. However, the real-time requirement has limited the use of hard constraints and large preview horizons, which are necessary to ensure safety and…
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 develop a risk-averse safety analysis method for stochastic systems on discrete infinite time horizons. Our method quantifies the notion of risk for a control system in terms of the severity of a harmful random outcome in a fraction of…
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…
We investigate conditions of optimality for an infinite horizon control problem and consider their correspondence with the value function. Assuming Lipschitz continuity of the value function, we prove that sensitivity relations plus the…
We study risk-sensitive optimal control of a stochastic differential equation (SDE) of mean-field type, where the coefficients are allowed to depend on some functional of the law as well as the state and control processes. Moreover the…
This paper studies the eigenvalue problem on $\mathbb{R}^d$ for a class of second order, elliptic operators of the form $\mathscr{L} = a^{ij}\partial_{x_i}\partial_{x_j} + b^{i}\partial_{x_i} + f$, associated with non-degenerate diffusions.…
The closed-loop stability and infinite-horizon performance of receding-horizon approximations are studied for non-stationary linear-quadratic regulator (LQR) problems. The approach is based on a lifted reformulation of the optimal control…
We investigate the value function of an infinite horizon variational problem in the infinite-dimensional setting. Firstly, we provide an upper estimate of its Dini--Hadamard subdifferential in terms of the Clarke subdifferential of the…
We consider an infinite horizon discounted optimal control problem for piecewise deterministic Markov processes, where a piecewise open-loop control acts continuously on the jump dynamics and on the deterministic flow. For this class of…
This paper concerns the eigenvalues of the Neumann-Poincar\'e operator, a boundary integral operator associated with the harmonic double-layer potential. Specifically, we examine how the eigenvalues depend on the support of integration and…
