Scenario-based stochastic optimal control problems suffer from the curse of dimensionality as they can easily grow to six and seven figure sizes. First-order methods are suitable as they can deal with such large-scale problems, but may fail to achieve accurate solutions within a reasonable number of iterations. To achieve solutions of higher accuracy and high speed, in this paper we propose two proximal quasi-Newtonian limited-memory algorithms - MinFBE applied to the dual problem and the Newton-type alternating minimization algorithm (NAMA) - which can be massively parallelized on lockstep hardware such as graphics processing units (GPUs). We demonstrate the performance of these methods, in terms of convergence speed and parallelizability, on large-scale problems involving millions of variables.

This paper is concerned with a backward stochastic linear-quadratic (LQ, for short) optimal control problem with deterministic coefficients. The weighting matrices are allowed to be indefinite, and cross-product terms in the control and state process es are present in the cost functional. Based on a Hilbert space method, necessary and sufficient conditions are derived for the solvability of the problem, and a general approach for constructing optimal controls is developed. The crucial step in this construction is to establish the solvability of a Riccati-type equation, which is accomplished under a fairly weak condition by investigating the connection with forward stochastic LQ optimal control problems.
We establish a generalization of Noether theorem for stochastic optimal control problems. Exploiting the tools of jet bundles and contact geometry, we prove that from any (contact) symmetry of the Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman equation associated to an opt imal control problem it is possible to build a related local martingale. Moreover, we provide an application of the theoretical results to Mertons optimal portfolio problem, showing that this model admits infinitely many conserved quantities in the form of local martingales.
In this paper we study the limit of the value function for a two-scale, infinite-dimensional, stochastic controlled system with cylindrical noise and possibly degenerate diffusion. The limit is represented as the value function of a new reduced contr ol problem (on a reduced state space). The presence of a cylindrical noise prevents representation of the limit by viscosity solutions of HJB equations, while degeneracy of diffusion coefficients prevents representation as a classical BSDE. We use a vanishing noise regularization technique.
In this paper, we investigate a sparse optimal control of continuous-time stochastic systems. We adopt the dynamic programming approach and analyze the optimal control via the value function. Due to the non-smoothness of the $L^0$ cost functional, in general, the value function is not differentiable in the domain. Then, we characterize the value function as a viscosity solution to the associated Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman (HJB) equation. Based on the result, we derive a necessary and sufficient condition for the $L^0$ optimality, which immediately gives the optimal feedback map. Especially for control-affine systems, we consider the relationship with $L^1$ optimal control problem and show an equivalence theorem.
We use the continuation and bifurcation package pde2path to numerically analyze infinite time horizon optimal control problems for parabolic systems of PDEs. The basic idea is a two step approach to the canonical systems, derived from Pontryagins max imum principle. First we find branches of steady or time-periodic states of the canonical systems, i.e., canonical steady states (CSS) respectively canonical periodic states (CPS), and then use these results to compute time-dependent canonical paths connecting to a CSS or a CPS with the so called saddle point property. This is a (high dimensional) boundary value problem in time, which we solve by a continuation algorithm in the initial states. We first explain the algorithms and then the implementation via some example problems and associated pde2path demo directories. The first two examples deal with the optimal management of a distributed shallow lake, and of a vegetation system, both with (spatially, and temporally) distributed controls. These examples show interesting bifurcations of so called patterned CSS, including patterned optimal steady states. As a third example we discuss optimal boundary control of a fishing problem with boundary catch. For the case of CPS-targets we first focus on an ODE toy model to explain and validate the method, and then discuss an optimal pollution mitigation PDE model.
