Optimal control of a parabolic PDE system arising in plasma transport via diffusivity-interior-boundary actuation
— In this paper, we study an optimal control problem arising in plasma transport which is governed by a singularly perturbed system. Time-scale separation allows us to focus on a...

A monotonic algorithm for the optimal control of the Fokker-Planck equation
— Motivated by some crowd motion models in the presence of noise, we consider an optimal control problem governed by the Fokker-Planck equation. We sketch optimality conditions b...
