Optimal control problems constrained by the stochastic Navier–Stokes equations with multiplicative Lévy noise

We consider the controlled stochastic Navier–Stokes equations in a bounded multidimensional domain, where the noise term allows jumps. In order to prove existence and uniqueness of an optimal control w.r.t. a given control problem, we first need to show the existence and uniqueness of a local mild solution of the considered controlled stochastic Navier–Stokes equations. We then discuss the control problem, where the related cost functional includes stopping times dependent on controls. Based on the continuity of the cost functional, we can apply existence and uniqueness results provided in [4], which enables us to show that a unique optimal control exists.     

Analysis of global exponential stability and periodic solutions of FCNNs with constant delays and time-varying delays

In this paper, we investigate a class of fuzzy cellular neural networks with constant delays and time-varying delays. By constructing suitable Lyapunov functional and employing Young inequality, we find sufficient conditions for the existence, uniqueness, global exponential stability of equilibrium, and the existence of periodic solutions of fuzzy cellular neural networks with time-varying delays. The results of this paper are new and they extend previously known results.     

Existence and Uniqueness of Solutions to Time-delays Stochastic Fractional Differential Equations with Non-Lipschitz Coefficients

In this paper, we consider the existence and uniqueness of solutions to time-varying delays stochastic fractional differential equations (SFDEs) with non-Lipschitz coefficients.

Periodic optimal control for parabolic Volterra-Lotka type equations

This paper considers the optimal harvesting control of a biological species, whose growth is governed by the parabolic diffusive Volterra-Lotka equation. We prove that such equation with L^∞ periodic coefficients has an unique positive periodic solution. We show the existence and uniqueness of an optimal control, and under certain conditions, we characterize the optimal control in terms of a parabolic optimality system. A monotone sequence which converges to the optimal control is constructed.     

Upper semicontinuity of random attractors of stochastic discrete complex Ginzburg–Landau equations with time-varying delays in the delay

A system of stochastic discrete complex Ginzburg–Landau equations with time-varying delays is considered. We first prove the existence and uniqueness of random attractor for these equations. Then, we analyze the convergence properties of the solutions as well as the attractors as the length of time delay approaches zero.     

Second-order nonlinear impulsive evolution equations with time-varying generating operators and optimal controls

In this article, the second-order nonlinear impulsive evolution differential equations with time-varying generating operators is considered. Constructing evolution systems generated by time-varying operator matrix, we introduce suitable mild solution of the second-order nonlinear impulsive evolution differential equations. The existence and uniqueness of the mild solutions and the continuous dependence on initial value are proved. The existence of the optimal controls for a Lagrange problem of the systems governed by the second-order nonlinear impulsive evolution equations is also presented. An example is given for demonstration.

Externality and Hamilton-Jacobi equations

The relationship between optimal control problems and Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman equations is well known [9]. In fact the value function, defined as the infimum of the cost functional, satisfies in the viscosity sense an appropriate Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman equation. In this paper we consider several control problems such that the cost functional associated to each problem depends explicitly on the value functions of the other problems. This leads to a system of Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman equations. This is known, in economic context [14] cap XI, as an externality problem. In these problems may occur a lack of uniqueness of the value functions. We give conditions to ensure existence, uniqueness of the value functions and an implicit integral representation formula. Moreover, under uniqueness assumption, we prove that the variational solutions of the associated Hamilton-Jacobi system converge asymptotically to the value functions. We prove also an uniqueness theorem in the case of viscosity solutions of Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman system.     

Optimal Harvesting in an Age-Structured Predator–Prey Model

We investigate optimal harvesting control in a predator–prey model in which the prey population is represented by a first-order partial differential equation with age-structure and the predator population is represented by an ordinary differential equation in time. The controls are the proportions of the populations to be harvested, and the objective functional represents the profit from harvesting. The existence and uniqueness of the optimal control pair are established.     

OPTIMAL HARVESTING OF A SPATIALLY EXPLICIT FISHERY MODEL

Abstract We consider an optimal fishery harvesting problem using a spatially explicit model with a semilinear elliptic PDE, Dirichlet boundary conditions, and logistic population growth. We consider two objective functionals: maximizing the yield and minimizing the cost or the variation in the fishing effort (control). Existence, necessary conditions, and uniqueness for the optimal harvesting control for both cases are established. Results for maximizing the yield with Neumann (no‐flux) boundary conditions are also given. The optimal control when minimizing the variation is characterized by a variational inequality instead of the usual algebraic characterization, which involves the solutions of an optimality system of nonlinear elliptic partial differential equations. Numerical examples are given to illustrate the results.     

The existence and uniqueness of positive periodic solutions of Nicholson-type delay systems

This paper is concerned with a class of Nicholson blowfly systems with multiple time-varying delays. By applying the method of the Lyapunov functional, some criteria are established for the existence and uniqueness of positive periodic solutions of the system. Moreover, an example is given to illustrate the main results.     

On a class of optimal control problems with distributed and lumped parameters

The optimal control of moving sources governed by a parabolic equation and a system of ordinary differential equations with initial and boundary conditions is considered. For this problem, an existence and uniqueness theorem is proved, sufficient conditions for the Fréchet differentiability of the cost functional are established, an expression for its gradient is derived, and necessary optimality conditions in the form of pointwise and integral maximum principles are obtained.     

Generic well-posedness of nonconvex optimal control problems

The Tonelli existence theorem in the calculus of variations and its subsequent modifications were established for integrands f which satisfy convexity and growth conditions. In our previous work a generic existence and uniqueness result (with respect to variations of the integrand of the integral functional) without the convexity condition was established for a class of optimal control problems satisfying the Cesari growth condition. In this paper we extend this generic existence and uniqueness result to a class of optimal control problems in which the right-hand side of differential equations is also subject to variations.     

Optimal harvesting for a population dynamics problem with age-structure and diffusion

In this work, optimal harvesting policy for the predator-prey system of three species with age-dependent and diffusion is discussed. Existence and uniqueness of non-negative solution to the system are investigated by using the fixed point theorem. The existence of optimal control strategy is discussed and optimality conditions are obtained. Our results extend some known criteria.     

On the existence of the stabilizing solution of generalized Riccati equations arising in zero-sum stochastic difference games: the time-varying case

In this paper, a large class of time-varying Riccati equations arising in stochastic dynamic games is considered. The problem of the existence and uniqueness of some globally defined solution, namely the bounded and stabilizing solution, is investigated. As an application of the obtained existence results, we address in a second step the problem of infinite-horizon zero-sum two players linear quadratic (LQ) dynamic game for a stochastic discrete-time dynamical system subject to both random switching of its coefficients and multiplicative noise. We show that in the solution of such an optimal control problem, a crucial role is played by the unique bounded and stabilizing solution of the considered class of generalized Riccati equations.

Backward Stochastic Riccati Equations and Infinite Horizon L-Q Optimal Control with Infinite Dimensional State Space and Random Coefficients

We study the Riccati equation arising in a class of quadratic optimal control problems with infinite dimensional stochastic differential state equation and infinite horizon cost functional. We allow the coefficients, both in the state equation and in the cost, to be random. In such a context backward stochastic Riccati equations are backward stochastic differential equations in the whole positive real axis that involve quadratic non-linearities and take values in a non-Hilbertian space. We prove existence of a minimal non-negative solution and, under additional assumptions, its uniqueness. We show that such a solution allows to perform the synthesis of the optimal control and investigate its attractivity properties. Finally the case where the coefficients are stationary is addressed and an example concerning a controlled wave equation in random media is proposed.     

On the ergodic and the adaptive control of stochastic differential delay systems

Some problems of ergodic control and adaptive control are formulated and solved for stochastic differential delay systems. The existence and the uniqueness of invariant measures that are solutions of the stochastic functional differential equations for these systems are verified. For an ergodic cost criterion, almost optimal controls are constructed. For an unknown system, the invariant measures and the optimal ergodic costs are shown to be continuous functions of the unknown parameters. Almost self-optimizing adaptive controls are feasibly constructed by an approximate certainty equivalence principle.This research was partially supported by NSF Grants ECS-91-02714 and ECS91-13029.
