Nonlinear differential equations and applications.
In particular:
- viscosity solutions of Hamilton-Jacobi equations;
- optimal control and differential games (deterministic and stochastic), dynamic programming and approximation methods;
- fully nonlinear elliptic and parabolic partial differential equations (subelliptic problems, singular perturbations, homogenization), applications to financial models with stochastic volatility;
- Mean-Field Games.
