Stochastic maximum principle for optimal control of SPDEs [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
In this note, we give the stochastic maximum principle for optimal control of stochastic PDEs in the general case (when the control domain need not be convex and the diffusion coefficient can contain a control variable)

Maximum principle for discrete-time stochastic optimal control problem and stochastic game

open access: yesMathematical Control and Related Fields, 2021
This paper is first concerned with one kind of discrete-time stochastic optimal control problem with convex control domains, for which necessary condition in the form of Pontryagin's maximum principle and sufficient condition of optimality are derived ...

Optimal control for controllable stochastic linear systems [PDF]

open access: yesESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations, 2020
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 stochastic linear systems is studied.

Nonlinear Stochastic Control and Information Theoretic Dualities: Connections, Interdependencies and Thermodynamic Interpretations

open access: yesEntropy, 2015
In this paper, we present connections between recent developments on the linearly-solvable stochastic optimal control framework with early work in control theory based on the fundamental dualities between free energy and relative entropy. We extend these

Stochastic Control Liaisons: Richard Sinkhorn Meets Gaspard Monge on a Schrödinger Bridge

open access: yesSIAM Review, 2021
In 1931--1932, Erwin Schr\"odinger studied a hot gas Gedankenexperiment (an instance of large deviations of the empirical distribution). Schr\"odinger's problem represents an early example of a fundamental inference method, the so-called maximum entropy ...

The Optimal Control Problem with State Constraints for Fully Coupled Forward-Backward Stochastic Systems with Jumps

open access: yesAbstract and Applied Analysis, 2014
We focus on the fully coupled forward-backward stochastic differential equations with jumps and investigate the associated stochastic optimal control problem (with the nonconvex control and the convex state constraint) along with stochastic maximum ...

Optimal control in an inventory management problem considering replenishment lead time based upon a non-diffusive stochastic differential equation

open access: yesJournal of Advanced Mechanical Design, Systems, and Manufacturing, 2019
An inventory management problem is theoretically discussed for a factory having effects of lead times in replenishing the inventory, where it stocks materials used for its products.

Optimal distributed control of a stochastic Cahn-Hilliard equation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
We study an optimal distributed control problem associated to a stochastic Cahn-Hilliard equation with a classical double-well potential and Wiener multiplicative noise, where the control is represented by a source-term in the definition of the chemical ...

Probability-Weighted Optimal Control for Nonlinear Stochastic Vibrating Systems with Random Time Delay

open access: yesShock and Vibration, 2018
A probability-weighted optimal control strategy for nonlinear stochastic vibrating systems with random time delay is proposed. First, by modeling the random delay as a finite state Markov process, the optimal control problem is converted into the one of ...

Delayed Stochastic Linear-Quadratic Control Problem and Related Applications

open access: yesJournal of Applied Mathematics, 2012
We discuss a quadratic criterion optimal control problem for stochastic linear system with delay in both state and control variables. This problem will lead to a kind of generalized forward-backward stochastic differential equations (FBSDEs) with Itô’s ...
