In particular, we assume that the random parameters are not observable and look for a deterministic control which is robust with respect to the randomness. The theoretical framework is based on adjoint calculus to compute the gradient of the objective functional. Unlike the deterministic case, we have a set of PDEs indexed by some uncertain parameters and the objective functional we consider includes some risk measure (e.g. expectation, variance, quantile (Value at Risk), ...) to take care of all realizations of our uncertain parameters. Introducing the regular class of coherent risk measure, results of convergence and regularity of the optimal control have been derived.enPDE constrained optimizationrisk-averse optimal controloptimiza-tion under uncertaintyPDE with random coefficientsstochastic approximationstochastic gradientMonte CarloSAGSAGAimportance samplingthesis::doctoral thesis
