Enlightened from the inverse consideration of the stable continuous-time dynamics evolution, the Variation Evolving Method (VEM) analogizes the optimal solution to the equilibrium point of an infinite-dimensional dynamic system and solves…

We develop a unified framework for semilinear elliptic equations with gradient-dependent nonlinearities and singular weights in strictly convex domains. Considering large solutions of \[ -\Delta u + b(x)\,h(|\nabla u|) + a(x)\,u = f(x)…

The continuum limit provides a useful tool for analyzing coupled oscillator networks. Recently, Medvedev (Comm. Math. Sci., 17 (2019), no. 4, pp. 883-898) gave a mathematical foundation for such an approach when the networks are defined on…

In this paper, for any homogeneous system of agents with linear continuous time dynamics, we formulate an optimal control problem. In this problem a convex cost functional of the control signals of the agents shall be minimized, while the…

We consider optimal stopping problems, in which a sequence of independent random variables is drawn from a known continuous density. The objective of such problems is to find a procedure which maximizes the expected reward; this is often…

Stochastic maximum principle of nonlinear controlled forward-backward systems, where the set of strict (classical) controls need not be convex and the diffusion coefficient depends explicitly on the variable control, is an open problem…

We introduce a Langevin equation characterized by a time dependent drift. By assuming a temporal power-law dependence of the drift we show that a great variety of behavior is observed in the dynamics of the variance of the process. In…

We consider a Bolza type optimal control problem of the form \begin{equation}\min J_{t}(y,u):=\int_t^T\Lambda(s,y(s), u(s))\,ds+g(y(T))\tag{P$_{t,x}$}\end{equation} Subject to: \begin{equation}\label{tag:admissible}\tag{D}\begin{cases} y\in…

In this paper we use an affine connection formulation to study an optimal control problem for a class of nonholonomic, under-actuated mechanical systems. In particular, we aim at minimizing the norm-squared of the control input to move the…

We study the existence of nonnegative solutions for a system of impulsive differential equations subject to nonlinear, nonlocal boundary conditions. The system presents a coupling in the differential equation and in the boundary conditions.…

We study a stochastic optimal control problem with the state constrained to a smooth, compact domain. The control influences both the drift and a possibly degenerate, control-dependent dispersion matrix, leading to a fully nonlinear,…

This paper deals with a family of stochastic control problems in Hilbert spaces which arises in typical applications (such as boundary control and control of delay equations with delay in the control) and for which is difficult to apply the…

The notion of Inertial Balanced Viscosity (IBV) solution to rate-independent evolutionary processes is introduced. Such solutions are characterized by an energy balance where a suitable, rate-dependent, dissipation cost is optimized at jump…

We establish a linear programming formulation for the solution of joint chance constrained optimal control problems over finite time horizons. The joint chance constraint may represent an invariance, reachability or reach-avoid…

We consider optimal control problems for partial differential equations where the controls take binary values but vary over the time horizon, they can thus be seen as dynamic switches. The switching patterns may be subject to combinatorial…

This paper rigorously connects the problem of optimal control of McKean-Vlasov dynamics with large systems of interacting controlled state processes. Precisely, the empirical distributions of near-optimal control-state pairs for the…

In this work, a boundary control problem for the following generalized Burgers-Huxley (GBH) equation: $$u_t=\nu u_{xx}-\alpha u^{\delta}u_x+\beta u(1-u^{\delta})(u^{\delta}-\gamma), $$ where $\nu,\alpha,\beta>0,$ $1\leq\delta<\infty$,…

In this paper we study an optimal control problem associated to a linear degenerate elliptic equation with mixed boundary conditions. The equations of this type can exhibit the Lavrentieff phenomenon and non-uniqueness of weak solutions. We…

The time evolution of a collisionless plasma is modeled by the Vlasov-Maxwell system which couples the Vlasov equation (the transport equation) with the Maxwell equations of electrodynamics. We only consider a 'two-dimensional' version of…

We consider a class of impulse control problems for general underlying strong Markov processes on the real line, which allows for an explicit solution. The optimal impulse times are shown to be of threshold type and the optimal threshold is…
