TLDR
The main steps for the transcription of the covariance control problem is presented, which is originally formulated as a stochastic optimal control problem into a deterministic nonlinear program (NLP) with a convex performance index and with both convex and non-convex constraints.

Optimal Covariance Control for Stochastic Systems Under Chance Constraints

TL;DR: In this paper, the covariance control problem with chance constraints was studied and a convex programming approach was proposed to solve the problem of covariance steering under chance constraints, which was shown to be equivalent to the one presented in this paper.

Optimal Stochastic Vehicle Path Planning Using Covariance Steering

TL;DR: This letter develops an approach that is based on optimal covariance steering, which explicitly steers the state covariance for stochastic linear systems and verifies the proposed framework using extensive numerical simulations.

Stochastic Control Liaisons: Richard Sinkhorn Meets Gaspard Monge on a Schrödinger Bridge

TL;DR: Schrodinger's problem represents an early example of a fundame... as discussed by the authors, which is an example of large deviations of the empirical distribution of a hot gas Gedanken experiment.

Reflected Schr\"odinger Bridge: Density Control with Path Constraints

TL;DR: This paper extends the theory of Schrödinger bridges to account the reflecting boundary conditions for the sample paths, and provides a computational framework building on the previous work on proximal recursions, to solve the minimum control effort density steering problem subject to state constraints.

Convex Optimization

TL;DR: In this article, the focus is on recognizing convex optimization problems and then finding the most appropriate technique for solving them, and a comprehensive introduction to the subject is given. But the focus of this book is not on the optimization problem itself, but on the problem of finding the appropriate technique to solve it.

Optimization over state feedback policies for robust control with constraints

TL;DR: It is shown that the class of admissible affine state feedback control policies with knowledge of prior states is equivalent to the classOf admissible feedback policies that are affine functions of the past disturbance sequence, which implies that a broad class of constrained finite horizon robust and optimal control problems can be solved in a computationally efficient fashion using convex optimization methods.
