- Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman equations for optimal control of stochastic Navier-Stokes equations.
- ABSTRACT:
- We will give an overview of new results in the theory of infinite dimensional Kolmogorov and
Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman equations associated with the optimal control of stochastic Navier-Stokes equations.
In particular we will present a viscosity solution approach to such equations and we will discuss implications and possible
future developments of the theory.

- A GEOMETRICAL APPROACH TO FRONT PROPAGATION PROBLEMS IN BOUNDED DOMAINS WITH NEUMANN -TYPE BOUNDARY AND APPLICATIONS
- ABSTRACT:
- We talk about a new definition of weak solution for the global-in-time motion of a front in bounded domains with normal
velocity depending not only on its curvature but also on the measure of the set it encloses and with a contact angle boundary condition. We apply this definition to study the asymptotic behaviour of the solutions of some local and nonlocal reaction-diffusion equations.
