We provide a dynamic programming principle for stochastic optimal control problems with expectation constraints. A weak formulation, using test functions and a probabilistic relaxation of the constraint, avoids restrictions related to a measurable selection but still implies the Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman equation in the viscosity sense. We treat open state constraints as a special case of expecta...

The paper [3] started a new approach to Abstract Algebraic Logic in which, instead of the usual equivalence-based classification of logical systems leading to the well-known Leibniz hierarchy of protoalgebraic logics (see [5]), we proposed an alternative setting based on implication connectives. By studying the properties of weak p-implications (understood as generalized connectives defined by ...

Recently, Girardi gave a characterization of relative strong L 1 R-compactness in terms of relative weak L 1 R-compactness and the Bocce criterion 18]. Here this result is generalized and extended by presenting a less stringent oscillation restriction condition (ORC) which enforces the transcendence of weak into an appropiately reformulated form of strong convergence in L 1 E , for E a separabl...

We define a regular m-partition of a distance regular graph as a partition of the vertex set into m classes, such that the number of vertices of a given class adjacent to a fixed vertex of another class (but possibly the same), is independent of the choice of that vertex in this class. Furthermore, we exhibit a technique to determine exact, discrete or bounding values for the intersection numbe...

In this paper direct proofs of some common fixed point results for two and three mappings under weak contractive conditions are given. Some of these results are improved by using different arguments of control functions. Examples are presented showing that some generalizations cannot be obtained and also that our results are distinct from the existing ones.

in this paper, simultaneous control of source terms is considered in a vibrational string problem.in the considered problem, the terms to be controlled are the force and the initial velocity functions. we statethe generalized (weak) solution about the considered problem. the existence and uniqueness of the solutionfor optimal control problem is investigated. the frechet derivative of the functi...
