Optimal Linear Static Control with Moment and Yield Objectives

This report describes how to optimize linear static control problems involving rst and second moments and yield objectives for Gaussian distributions. These problems can be cast as second-order cone programs, which is a class of convex optimization problems that can be solved very e ciently.
