PETER SAGAL: [Under the old classification, marijuana is] as bad as heroin and worse than cocaine, which is, when you think about it, kind of fair. Cocaine has never caused anyone to start a jam band.
JOSH GONDELMAN: Yeah, but marijuana has never made anyone start a hedge fund.

An Optimal Control Problem Arising in Sailboat Trajectory Optimization
We formulate the optimal control problem for a sailboat that seeks to reach an upwind buoy, under the hypothesis that the wind speed is constant and the wind direction is a Brownian motion. The yacht moves in $\mathbb{R}^2$ and the target is a ball of radius $η\geq 0$ centered at the origin. The yacht can be subject to a tacking cost $c\geq 0$. We consider three control problems depending on the value of the parameters: the first one corresponds to the case $η=0$, $c=0$, the second to the cas…
