Variational and Optimal Control Problems on Unbounded Domains

The workshop brought together a select group of
worldwide experts in optimal control theory and the calculus of
variations, working on problems on unbounded domains.

The papers
in this volume cover many different areas of optimal control and its
applications. Topics include needle variations in infinite-horizon
optimal control, Lyapunov stability with some extensions, small noise
large time asymptotics for the normalized Feynman-Kac semigroup,
linear-quadratic optimal control problems with state delays,
time-optimal control of wafer stage positioning, second order
optimality conditions in optimal control, state and time
transformations of infinite horizon problems, turnpike properties of
dynamic zero-sum games, and an infinite-horizon variational problem on
an infinite strip.

This book is co-published with Bar-Ilan University (Ramat-Gan, Israel).
