Nonlocal operators of fractional type are a popular modeling choice for applications that do not adhere to classical diffusive behavior; however, one major challenge in nonlocal simulations is the selection of model parameters. In this work…
We derive the dual variational principle (principle of minimal complementary energy) for the nonlocal nonlinear scalar diffusion problem, which may be viewed as the nonlocal version of the $p$-Laplacian operator. We establish existence and…
This paper deals with optimal control problems for systems affine in the control variable. We consider nonnegativity constraints on the control, and finitely many equality and inequality constraints on the final state. First, we obtain…
This paper is concerned with an optimal control problem governed by a non-smooth semilinear elliptic equation. We show that the control-to-state mapping is directionally differentiable and precisely characterize its Bouligand…
A class of time-optimal control problems governed by semilinear parabolic equations with mixed pointwise constraints and final point constraints is considered. By introducing the so-called locally optimal solution to time-optimal control…
In this paper, we investigate optimal control problems for Allen-Cahn equations with singular nonlinearities and a dynamic boundary condition involving singular nonlinearities and the Laplace-Beltrami operator. The approach covers both the…
We tackle a nonlinear optimal control problem for a stochastic differential equation in Euclidean space and its state-linear counterpart for the Fokker-Planck-Kolmogorov equation in the space of probabilities. Our approach is founded on a…
In this work, we study the bilinear optimal stabilization of a non-homogeneous Fokker-Planck equation. We first study the problem of optimal control in a finite-time interval and then focus on the case of the infinite time horizon. We…
In this paper, we develop a theoretical framework for nonlinear stochastic optimal control problems with optimal stopping by establishing a density-based deterministic representation of the underlying diffusion. For state-independent…
In this work, we will investigate the question of optimal control for bilinear systems with constrained endpoint. The optimal control will be characterized through a set of unconstrained minimization problems that approximate the former.…
In this paper, we discuss optimality conditions for optimization problems involving random state constraints, which are modeled in probabilistic or almost sure form. While the latter can be understood as the limiting case of the former, the…
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…
The aim of this work is to give a broad panorama of the control properties of fractional diffusive models from a numerical analysis and simulation perspective. We do this by surveying several research results we obtained in the last years,…
The purpose of this paper is to establish the first and second order necessary conditions for stochastic optimal controls in infinite dimensions. The control system is governed by a stochastic evolution equation, in which both drift and…
This article investigates nonlocal, fully nonlinear generalizations of the classical biharmonic operator $(-\Delta)^2$. These fractional $p$-biharmonic operators appear naturally in the variational characterization of the optimal fractional…
We consider an optimal control problem for the steady-state Kirchhoff equation, a prototype for nonlocal partial differential equations, different from fractional powers of closed operators. Existence and uniqueness of solutions of the…
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…
For general second order evolution equations, we prove an optimal condition on the degree of unboundedness of the damping, that rules out finite-time extinction. We show that control estimates give energy decay rates that explicitly depend…
In this article we study an optimal control problem subject to the Fokker-Planck equation \[ \partial_t \rho - \nu \Delta \rho - {\rm div } \big(\rho B[u]\big) = 0. \] The control variable $u$ is time-dependent and possibly…
The current article examines the approximate controllability problem for non-instantaneous impulsive fractional evolution equations of order $1<\alpha<2$ with state-dependent delay in separable reflexive Banach spaces. In order to establish…
