Weak Dynamic Programming Principle for Viscosity Solutions
Abstract. We prove a weak version of the dynamic programming principle for standard stochastic control problems and mixed control-stopping problems, which avoids the technical diļ¬...

Optimal Robust Stabilization and Dissipativity Synthesis by Behavioral Interconnection
Given a nominal plant, together with a ļ¬xed neighborhood of this plant, the problem of robust stabilization is to ļ¬nd a controller that stabilizes all plants in that neighborh...

Semismooth Newton Methods for Optimal Control of the Wave Equation with Control Constraints
In this paper optimal control problems governed by the wave equation with control constraints are analyzed. Three types of control action are considered: distributed control, Neuma...

Internal Stabilization by Noise of the Navier--Stokes Equation
One shows that the Navier-Stokes equation in OāŠ‚Rd, d = 2, 3, around an unstable equilibrium solution is exponentially stabilizable in probability by an internal noise controller...

Admissible Strategies in Semimartingale Portfolio Selection
The choice of admissible trading strategies in mathematical modelling of ļ¬nancial markets is a delicate issue, going back to Harrison and Kreps [HK79]. In the context of optimal...
