Abstract
Ensemble optimal control problems governed by a Fokker–Planck equation with space–time dependent controls are investigated. These problems require the minimisation of objective functionals of probability type and aim at determining robust control mechanisms for the ensemble of trajectories of the stochastic system defining the Fokker–Planck model. In this work, existence of optimal controls is proved and a detailed analysis of their characterization by first– and second–order optimality conditions is presented. For this purpose, the well–posedness of the Fokker–Planck equation, and new estimates concerning an inhomogeneous Fokker–Planck model are discussed, which are essential to prove the necessary regularity and compactness of the control–to–state map appearing in the first–and second–order analysis.

Targeted topics include:
in control: modeling, controllability, optimal control, stabilization, control design, hybrid control, robustness analysis, numerical and computational methods for control, stochastic or deterministic, continuous or discrete control systems, finite-dimensional or infinite-dimensional control systems, geometric control, quantum control, game theory;
in optimisation: mathematical programming, large scale systems, stochastic optimisation, combinatorial optimisation, shape optimisation, convex or nonsmooth optimisation, inverse problems, interior point methods, duality methods, numerical methods, convergence and complexity, global optimisation, optimisation and dynamical systems, optimal transport, machine learning, image or signal analysis;
in calculus of variations: variational methods for differential equations and Hamiltonian systems, variational inequalities; semicontinuity and convergence, existence and regularity of minimizers and critical points of functionals, relaxation; geometric problems and the use and development of geometric measure theory tools; problems involving randomness; viscosity solutions; numerical methods; homogenization, multiscale and singular perturbation problems.
