Geometric Approach to Pontryagin's Maximum Principle [PDF]
Since the second half of the 20th century, Pontryagin's Maximum Principle has been widely discussed and used as a method to solve optimal control problems in medicine, robotics, finance, engineering, astronomy.

Geometry of Optimal Control for Control-Affine Systems [PDF]
Motivated by the ubiquity of control-affine systems in optimal control theory, we investigate the geometry of point-affine control systems with metric structures in dimensions two and three.

In this work, we consider robotic systems for which the mass tensor is identified to be the metric in a Riemannian manifold. Cost functional invariance is achieved by constructing it with the identified metric.

Mean-Field Pontryagin Maximum Principle [PDF]
We derive a Maximum Principle for optimal control problems with constraints given by the coupling of a system of ODEs and a PDE of Vlasov-type. Such problems arise naturally as $Γ$-limits of optimal control problems subject to ODE constraints, modeling, for instance, external interventions on crowd dynamics.

We study a singular problem of optimal control of a nonlocal transport equation in the space of probability measures, in which the structure of the drivng vector field with respect to the control variable is somewhat equivalent to the affine one, while ...

Pontryagin maximum principle and Stokes theorem [PDF]
We present a new geometric unfolding of a prototype problem of optimal control theory, the Mayer problem. This approach is crucially based on the Stokes Theorem and yields to a necessary and sufficient condition that characterizes the optimal solutions, from which the classical Pontryagin Maximum Principle is derived in a new insightful way.

Pontryagin’s Maximum Principle for Optimal Control of Stochastic SEIR Models
In this paper, we study the necessary conditions as well as sufficient conditions for optimality of stochastic SEIR model. The most distinguishing feature, compared with the well-studied SEIR model, is that the model system follows stochastic ...
