Oxford Events, the new replacement for OxTalks, will launch on 16th March. From now until the launch of Oxford Events, new events cannot be published or edited on OxTalks while all existing records are migrated to the new platform. The existing OxTalks site will remain available to view during this period.
From 16th, Oxford Events will launch on a new website: events.ox.ac.uk, and event submissions will resume. You will need a Halo login to submit events. Full details are available on the Staff Gateway.
We study the welfare function and the optimal control of the shallow lake problem with multiplicative noise. We show that the welfare function is the viscosity solution of the associated Bellman equation and we establish several properties including its asymptotic behaviour at infinity. In the presence of noise, the optimally controlled lake may have a bimodal invariant distribution and exhibit metastable transitions between oligotrophic (blue) and eutrophic (green) states.
