Minimal Time Sequential Batch Reactors with Bounded and Impulse Controls for One or More Species
We consider the optimal control problem of feeding in minimal time a tank where several species compete for a single resource, with the objective being to reach a given level of th...

Control Lyapunov Functions and Zubov's Method
For finite dimensional nonlinear control systems we study the relation between asymptotic null-controllability and control Lyapunov functions. It is shown that control Lyapunov fun...

Connections between Singular Control and Optimal Switching
This paper builds a new theoretical connection between singular control of finite variation and optimal switching problems. This correspondence provides a novel method for solving ...

Singularly Perturbed Piecewise Deterministic Games
Abstract. In this paper we consider a class of hybrid stochastic games with the piecewise openloop information structure. These games are indexed over a parameter which represents...

Optimal Consumption in a Growth Model with the Cobb--Douglas Production Function
An optimal consumption problem is studied in a growth model for the Cobb-Douglas production function in a finite horizon. The problem is transfered into a stochastic Ramsey proble...

Singular Trajectories of Control-Affine Systems
Abstract. When applying methods of optimal control to motion planning or stabilization problems, some theoretical or numerical difficulties may arise, due to the presence of specif...

A Post-Treatment of the Homogenization Method for Shape Optimization
We propose an alternative to the classical post-treatment of the homogenization method for shape optimization. Rather than penalize the material density once the optimal composite ...

Partial Information Linear Quadratic Control for Jump Diffusions
We study a stochastic control problem where the state process is described by a stochastic differential equation driven by a Brownian motion and a Poisson random measure, being af...

Perturbation Methods in Stability and Norm Analysis of Spatially Periodic Systems
We consider systems governed by partial differential equations with spatially periodic coefficients over unbounded domains. These spatially periodic systems are considered as pertu...
