An overview of optimal control optimization problems driven by non-convexity measures

Abstract

Recently, literature on dynamic coherent risk measures has broadened the choices for risk-sensitive performance evaluation. A running example includes Cumulative prospect theory and Conditional variance at risk. Most of them can be can be interpreted in general as a non-linear transformation of a given random variable. Non-convexity property has implied a lot of mathematical intricacies and challenges. The paper gives overview on the recent development of dynamic programming optimal control optimization problems driven by non-convex measures.
