This paper is devoted to the study of shape optimization problems for the first eigenvalue of the elliptic operator with drift L = --$\Delta$+V (x)\cdot \nabla with Dirichlet boundary conditions, where V is a bounded vector field. In the…

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…

In this paper we investigate necessary conditions of optimality for infinite-horizon optimal control problems with overtaking optimality as an optimality criterion. For the case of local Lipschitz continuity of the payoff function, we…

We consider controlled stochastic differential equations (SDEs) with measurable coefficients, a uniformly elliptic diffusion coefficient and an $L_d$-drift. No space-regularity will be assumed for the coefficients. In this framework we…

We study an optimal switching problem with a state constraint: the controller is only allowed to choose strategies that keep the controlled diffusion in a closed domain. We prove that the value function associated with this problem is the…

In this paper we study a utility maximization problem with both optimal control and optimal stopping in a finite time horizon. The value function can be characterized by a variational equation that involves a free boundary problem of a…

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…

We study the problem of state transition on a finite time interval with minimal energy supply for linear port-Hamiltonian systems. While the cost functional of minimal energy supply is intrinsic to the port-Hamiltonian structure, the…

Let $T>0$ fixed. We consider the optimal control problem for analytic affine systems: $\ds{\dot{x}=f\_0(x)+\sum\_{i=1}^m u\_if\_i(x)}$, with a cost of the form: $\ds{C(u)=\int\_0^T \sum\_{i=1}^m u\_i^2(t)dt}$. For this kind of systems we…

We consider a singular stochastic control problem, which is called the Monotone Follower Stochastic Control Problem and give sufficient conditions for the existence and uniqueness of a local-time type optimal control. To establish this…

Presented is a new method for calculating the time-optimal guidance control for a multiple vehicle pursuit-evasion system. A joint differential game of k pursuing vehicles relative to the evader is constructed, and a Hamilton-Jacobi-Isaacs…

The classical optimal trading problem is the closure of a position in an asset over a time interval; the trader maximizes an expected utility under the constraint that the position be fully closed by terminal time. Since the asset price is…

In this paper we analyze the optimal value function $v$ associated to a general parametric optimization problems via the theory of viscosity solutions. The novelty is that we obtain regularity properties of $v$ by showing that it is a…

In this study, we consider a multi-pursuer single-evader quantitative pursuit-evasion game with payoff function that includes only the terminal cost. The terminal cost is a function related only to the terminal position of the evader. This…

We study the problem of maximizing a spectral risk measure of a given output function which depends on several underlying variables, whose individual distributions are known but whose joint distribution is not. We establish and exploit an…

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 an optimal stopping problem with an unbounded, time-dependent and discontinuous reward function. This problem is motivated by the pricing of a variable annuity contract with guaranteed minimum maturity benefit, under the assumption…

We consider the problem of rare event importance sampling, where the random variable of interest is a path functional of an It\^o diffusion computed up to the first exit from a $d$-dimensional bounded domain. Dupuis and Wang (\textit{Ann.…

We study the valuation of an American put option with a random time horizon given by the last exit time of the underlying asset from a fixed level. Since this random time is not a stopping time, the problem falls outside the classical…

This article is the starting point of a series of works whose aim is the study of deterministic control problems where the dynamic and the running cost can be completely different in two (or more) complementary domains of the space $\R^N$.…
