Bjørnar Larssen

Bjørnar Larssen is an Associate Professor at Oslo Metropolitan University, affiliated with the Faculty of Social Sciences and specifically the Oslo Business School's Economics and Methodology department. His academic work focuses on mathematical approaches to control theory and stochastic processes.

Dr. Larssen's research interests span several specialized areas within mathematical control theory:

• Stochastic Control
• Delay Systems
• Dynamic Programming
• Optimal Control
• Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman Equations
• Mathematical Optimization

His publication record demonstrates a consistent focus on the mathematical foundations of control systems with time delays. Both his 2002 and 2003 publications address fundamental questions in stochastic control of delay systems, with particular attention to when Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman (HJB) equations remain finite-dimensional - a critical consideration for practical implementation of control solutions. His work bridges theoretical mathematics with applications in engineering and economics.

Dr. Larssen maintains an active research profile with publications appearing in reputable journals such as Stochastic Analysis and Applications and Stochastics and Stochastics Reports.
