We consider a finite-time stochastic drift control problem with the assumption that the control is bounded and the system is controlled until the state process leaves the half-line. Assuming general conditions, it is proved that the…

The path-integral control, which stems from the stochastic Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman equation, is one of the methods to control stochastic nonlinear systems. This paper gives a new insight into nonlinear stochastic optimal control problems…

We consider a stochastic optimal control problem governed by a stochastic differential equation with delay in the control. Using a result of existence and uniqueness of a sufficiently regular mild solution of the associated…

This paper is concerned with a constrained stochastic linear-quadratic optimal control problem, in which the terminal state is fixed and the initial state is constrained to lie in a stochastic linear manifold. The controllability of…

This paper presents sufficient conditions for optimal control of systems with dynamics given by a linear operator, in order to obtain an explicit solution to the Bellman equation that can be calculated in a distributed fashion. Further, the…

In this paper, we study the optimal control problem for steering the state covariance of a discrete-time linear stochastic system over a finite time horizon. First, we establish the existence and uniqueness of the optimal control law for a…

In this manuscript we consider a class optimal control problem for stochastic differential delay equations. First, we rewrite the problem in a suitable infinite-dimensional Hilbert space. Then, using the dynamic programming approach, we…

An optimal control problem is considered for a stochastic differential equation containing a state-dependent regime switching, with a recursive cost functional. Due to the non-exponential discounting in the cost functional, the problem is…

This work addresses stochastic optimal control problems where the unknown state evolves in continuous time while partial, noisy, and possibly controllable measurements are only available in discrete time. We develop a framework for…

This paper studies a class of continuous-time scalar-state stochastic Linear-Quadratic (LQ) optimal control problem with the linear control constraints. Applying the state separation theorem induced from its special structure, we develop…

Stochastic optimal control problems with constraints on the probability distribution of the final output are considered. Necessary conditions for optimality in the form of a coupled system of partial differential equations involving a…

Aiming for more realistic optimal dividend policies, we consider a stochastic control problem with linearly bounded control rates using a performance function given by the expected present value of dividend payments made up to ruin. In a…

This paper presents a method to approximately solve stochastic optimal control problems in which the cost function and the system dynamics are polynomial. For stochastic systems with polynomial dynamics, the moments of the state can be…

For a class of Bellman equations in bounded domains we prove that sub- and supersolutions whose growth at the boundary is suitably controlled must be constant. The ellipticity of the operator is assumed to degenerate at the boundary and a…

This paper is concerned with the existence of optimal controls for backward stochastic partial differential equations with random coefficients, in which the control systems are represented in an abstract evolution form, i.e. backward…

We consider a pathwise stochastic optimal control problem and study the associated (not necessarily adapted) Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman stochastic partial differential equation. We show that the value process is the unique solution of this…

This paper is a survey on some recent aspects and developments in stochastic control. We discuss the two main historical approaches, Bellman's optimality principle and Pontryagin's maximum principle, and their modern exposition with…

We study a stochastic control problem on a bounded domain, which arises from a continuous-time optimal management model. Via the corresponding Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman equation the value function is shown to be jointly continuous and to…

This paper considers linear-quadratic control of a non-linear dynamical system subject to arbitrary cost. I show that for this class of stochastic control problems the non-linear Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman equation can be transformed into a…

In this paper we study a class of stochastic control problems in which the control of the jump size is essential. Such a model is a generalized version for various applied problems ranging from optimal reinsurance selections for general…
