Pseudo-spectral optimal control of stochastic processes using Fokker Planck equation

Motivated by the successful implementation of Pseudo-spectral (PS) methods in optimal control problems (OCP), a new technique is introduced to control the probability density function (PDF) of the state of the 1-D system described by a stochastic differential equation (SDE). In this paper, the Fokke...

The simulation results based on Monte-Carlo simulations prove the performance of the proposed method.
