The Hopf-Lax formula for multiobjective costs with non-constant discount via set optimization

Abstract

The minimization of a multiobjective Lagrangian with non-constant discount is studied. The problem is embedded into a set-valued framework and a corresponding definition of the value function is given. Bellman's optimality principle and Hopf-Lax formula are derived. The value function is shown to be a solution of a set-valued Hamilton-Jacobi equation.
