We prove existence of optimal control for the deterministic and stochastic shallow lake problem without any restrictions on the parameter space and we establish a generalization of the Arrhenius Law in the case of noise-dependent…

A theoretical framework and numerical techniques to solve optimal control problems with a spatial trace term in the terminal cost and governed by regularized nonlinear hyperbolic conservation laws are provided. Depending on the spatial…

This contribution considers optimal control problems subject to nonlocal conservation laws -- those in which the velocity depends nonlocally (i.e., via a convolution) on the solution -- and the so-called singular limit. First, the existence…

Discrete-time robust optimal control problems generally take a min-max structure over continuous variable spaces, which can be difficult to solve in practice. In this paper, we extend the class of such problems that can be solved through a…

Infinite horizon open loop optimal control problems for semilinear parabolic equations are investigated. The controls are subject to a cost-functional which promotes sparsity in time. The focus is put on deriving first order optimality…

We consider an optimal control problem for the three-dimensional non-linear Primitive Equations of the ocean in a vertically bounded and horizontally periodic domain. The observation operator maps a solution of the Primitive Equations to…

The paper addresses an existence problem for infinite horizon optimal control when the system under control is exponentially stabilizable or stable. Classes of nonlinear control systems for which infinite horizon optimal controls exist are…

This paper introduces a receding horizon like control scheme for localizable distributed systems, in which the effect of each local disturbance is limited spatially and temporally. We characterize such systems by a set of linear equality…

We study L 1 -optimal stabilization of linear systems with finite and infinite horizons. Main results concern the existence, uniqueness and structure of optimal solutions, and the robustness of optimal cost.

This paper is concerned with an optimal control problem subject to the $H^1$-critical defocusing semilinear wave equation on a smooth and bounded domain in three spatial dimensions. Due to the criticality of the nonlinearity in the wave…

We present a numerical framework to treat infinite time horizon spatially distributed optimal control problems via the associated canonical system derived by Pontryagin's Maximum Principle. The basic idea is to consider the canonical system…

A class of infinite horizon optimal control problems involving $L^p$-type cost functionals with $0<p\leq 1$ is discussed. The existence of optimal controls is studied for both the convex case with $p=1$ and the nonconvex case with $0<p<1$,…

We present a general approach to prove existence of solutions for optimal control problems not based on typical convexity conditions which quite often are very hard, if not impossible, to check. By taking advantage of several relaxations of…

In this paper, we solve the long-standing fundamental problem of irregular linear--quadratic (LQ) optimal control, which has received significant attention since the 1960s. We derive the optimal controllers via the key technique of finding…

In this paper, we consider the infinite horizon optimal control problem for nonlinear systems. Under the conditions of controllability of the linearized system around the origin, and nonlinear controllability of the system to a terminal set…

This paper is concerned with stochastic linear quadratic (LQ, for short) optimal control problems in an infinite horizon with constant coefficients. It is proved that the non-emptiness of the admissible control set for all initial state is…

This paper is devoted to a study of infinite horizon optimal control problems with time discounting and time averaging criteria in discrete time. It is known that these problems are related to certain infinite-dimensional linear programming…

It has been recently established that a deterministic infinite horizon discounted optimal control problem in discrete time is closely related to a certain infinite dimensional linear programming problem and its dual. In the present paper,…

We adopt an optimal-control framework for addressing the undiscounted infinite-horizon discrete-time restless $N$-armed bandit problem. Unlike most studies that rely on constructing policies based on the relaxed single-armed Markov Decision…

In the paper we consider the infinite horizon control problems on the interval with free right-hand endpoint. We obtain the necessary conditions of strict optimality. The method of the proof actually follows the classic paper by Halkin, and…
