Abstract
This talk is devoted to an overview of recent results on the optimal control of dynamical systems on probability measures modelizing the evolution of a large number of agents. The system is composed by a number of agents so huge, that at each time only a statistical description of the state is available. A common way to model such kind of system is to consider a macroscopic point of view, where the state of the system is described by a (time-evolving) probability measure on $R^d$ (which the underlying space where the agents move). So we are facing to a two-level system where the mascroscopic dynamic concerns probability measure while the microscopic dynamic - which describes the evolution of an individual agent - is a controlled differential equation on $ R^d$. Associated to this dynamics on the Wasserstein space, one can associate a cost which allows to define a value function. We discuss the characterization of this value function through a Hamilton Jacobi Bellman equation stated on the Wasserstein space. We also discuss the problem of compatibility of state constraints with a multiagent control system. Since the Wasserstein space can be also viewed as the set of the laws of random variables in a suitable $L^2$ space, one can hope to reduce our problems to $L^2$ analysis. We discuss when this is possible. This overview talk is based on several works in collaboration with I. Averboukh, P. Cardaliaguet, G. Cavagnari, C. Jimenez and A. Marigonda.
