N2  - This book collects some recent developments in stochastic control theory with applications to financial mathematics. In the first part of the volume, standard stochastic control problems are addressed from the viewpoint of the recently developed weak dynamic programming principle. A special emphasis is put on regularity issues and, in particular, on the behavior of the value function near the boundary.
