An optimal control problem is considered for a stochastic differential equation with the cost functional determined by a backward stochastic Volterra integral equation (BSVIE, for short). This kind of cost functional can cover the general…

Developing algorithms for solving high-dimensional partial differential equations (PDEs) has been an exceedingly difficult task for a long time, due to the notoriously difficult problem known as the "curse of dimensionality". This paper…

Stochastic optimal control control problems with merely measurable coefficients are not well understood. In this manuscript, we consider fully non-linear stochastic optimal control problems in infinite horizon with measurable coefficients…

Building upon the dynamic programming principle for set-valued functions arising from many applications, in this paper we propose a new notion of set-valued PDEs. The key component in the theory is a set-valued It\^{o} formula,…

In this paper we propose a new computational method for designing optimal regulators for high-dimensional nonlinear systems. The proposed approach leverages physics-informed machine learning to solve high-dimensional Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman…

We consider numerical resolution of principal-agent (PA) problems in continuous time. We formulate a generic PA model with continuous and lump payments and a multi-dimensional strategy of the agent. To tackle the resulting…

Second-order partial differential equations in non-divergence form are considered. Equations of this kind typically arise as subproblems for the solution of Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman equations in the context of stochastic optimal control, or…

We propose a probabilistic numerical algorithm to solve Backward Stochastic Differential Equations (BSDEs) with nonnegative jumps, a class of BSDEs introduced in [9] for representing fully nonlinear HJB equations. In particular, this allows…

We propose a mesh-free policy iteration framework that combines classical dynamic programming with physics-informed neural networks (PINNs) to solve high-dimensional, nonconvex Hamilton--Jacobi--Isaacs (HJI) equations arising in stochastic…

In the present work we employ, for the first time, backward stochastic differential equations (BSDEs) to study the optimal control of semi-Markov processes on finite horizon, with general state and action spaces. More precisely, we prove…

We propose a new approach to the numerical solution of ergodic problems arising in the homogenization of Hamilton-Jacobi (HJ) equations. It is based on a Newton-like method for solving inconsistent systems of nonlinear equations, coming…

In this paper we study stochastic optimal control problems of fully coupled forward-backward stochastic differential equations (FBSDEs). The recursive cost functionals are defined by controlled fully coupled FBSDEs. We study two cases of…

We present methods for locally solving the Dynamic Programming Equations (DPE) and the Hamilton Jacobi Bellman (HJB) PDE that arise in the infinite horizon optimal control problem. The method for solving the DPE is the discrete time version…

This paper considers optimal control of dynamical systems which are represented by nonlinear stochastic differential equations. It is well-known that the optimal control policy for this problem can be obtained as a function of a value…

Choosing how much noise to add in Langevin dynamics is essential for making these algorithms effective in challenging optimization problems. One promising approach is to determine this noise by solving Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman (HJB)…

Recent observations have been made that bridge splitting methods arising from optimization, to the Hopf and Lax formulas for Hamilton-Jacobi Equations with Hamiltonians $H(p)$. This has produced extremely fast algorithms in computing…

We address two major challenges in scientific machine learning (SciML): interpretability and computational efficiency. We increase the interpretability of certain learning processes by establishing a new theoretical connection between…

In this paper, we propose a novel image restoration framework that integrates optimal control techniques with the Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman (HJB) equation. Motivated by models from production planning, our method restores degraded images by…

We propose an actor-critic framework to solve the time-continuous stochastic optimal control problem. A least square temporal difference method is applied to compute the value function for the critic. The policy gradient method is…

We extend the Deep Galerkin Method (DGM) introduced in Sirignano and Spiliopoulos (2018)} to solve a number of partial differential equations (PDEs) that arise in the context of optimal stochastic control and mean field games. First, we…
