A relaxation theorem for partially observed stochastic control on Hilbert space

N.U. Ahmed (2007)

Discussiones Mathematicae, Differential Inclusions, Control and Optimization

In this paper, we present a result on relaxability of partially observed control problems for infinite dimensional stochastic systems in a Hilbert space. This is motivated by the fact that measure valued controls, also known as relaxed controls, are difficult to construct practically and so one must inquire if it is possible to approximate the solutions corresponding to measure valued controls by those corresponding to ordinary controls. Our main result is the relaxation theorem which states that...

A Separation Theorem for Expected Value and Feared Value Discrete Time Control

Pierre Bernhard (2010)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

We show how the use of a parallel between the ordinary (+, X) and the (max, +) algebras, Maslov measures that exploit this parallel, and more specifically their specialization to probabilities and the corresponding cost measures of Quadrat, offer a completely parallel treatment of stochastic and minimax control of disturbed nonlinear discrete time systems with partial information. This paper is based upon, and improves, the discrete time part of the earlier paper [9].

A stopping rule for discounted Markov decision processes with finite action sets

Raúl Montes-de-Oca, Enrique Lemus-Rodríguez, Daniel Cruz-Suárez (2009)

Kybernetika

In a Discounted Markov Decision Process (DMDP) with finite action sets the Value Iteration Algorithm, under suitable conditions, leads to an optimal policy in a finite number of steps. Determining an upper bound on the necessary number of steps till gaining convergence is an issue of great theoretical and practical interest as it would provide a computationally feasible stopping rule for value iteration as an algorithm for finding an optimal policy. In this paper we find such a bound depending only...

About the linear-quadratic regulator problem under a fractional brownian perturbation

M. L. Kleptsyna, Alain Le Breton, M. Viot (2003)

ESAIM: Probability and Statistics

In this paper we solve the basic fractional analogue of the classical linear-quadratic gaussian regulator problem in continuous time. For a completely observable controlled linear system driven by a fractional brownian motion, we describe explicitely the optimal control policy which minimizes a quadratic performance criterion.

Adaptive control of discrete time Markov processes by the large deviations method

T. Duncan, B. Pasik-Duncan, Łukasz Stettner (2000)

Applicationes Mathematicae

Some discrete time controlled Markov processes in a locally compact metric space whose transition operators depend on an unknown parameter are described. The adaptive controls are constructed using the large deviations of empirical distributions which are uniform in the parameter that takes values in a compact set. The adaptive procedure uses a finite family of continuous, almost optimal controls. Using the large deviations property it is shown that an adaptive control which is a fixed almost optimal...

Adding constraints to BSDEs with jumps: an alternative to multidimensional reflections

Romuald Elie, Idris Kharroubi (2014)

ESAIM: Probability and Statistics

This paper is dedicated to the analysis of backward stochastic differential equations (BSDEs) with jumps, subject to an additional global constraint involving all the components of the solution. We study the existence and uniqueness of a minimal solution for these so-called constrained BSDEs with jumps via a penalization procedure. This new type of BSDE offers a nice and practical unifying framework to the notions of constrained BSDEs presented in [S. Peng and M. Xu, Preprint. (2007)] and BSDEs...

Alcuni problemi matematici legati alla gestione ottima di un portafoglio

Maurizio Pratelli (2004)

Bollettino dell'Unione Matematica Italiana

In questa conferenza, vengono esposte le idee essenziali che stanno alla base del classico problema di gestire un portafoglio in modo da rendere massima l'utilità media. I metodi tipici del controllo stocastico sono confrontati con le idee della dualità convessa infinito-dimensionale.
