Generic uniqueness and conjugate points for optimal control problems
Alberto Bressan, Marco Mazzola, Khai T. Nguyen
The paper is concerned with an optimal control problem on , where the dynamics is linear w.r.t.~the control functions. For a terminal cost in a set…
On the structure of the value function of optimal exit time problems
Piermarco Cannarsa, Marco Mazzola, Khai T. Nguyen
In this paper, we study an optimal exit time problem with general running and terminal costs and a target having an inner ball property for a nonli…
Generic Properties of Conjugate Points in Optimal Control Problems
Alberto Bressan, Marco Mazzola, Khai T. Nguyen
The first part of the paper studies a class of optimal control problems in Bolza form, where the dynamics is linear w.r.t.~the control function. A necessary condition is derived, f…
Approximation of Sweeping Processes and Controllability for a Set Valued Evolution
Alberto Bressan, Marco Mazzola, Khai T. Nguyen
We consider a controlled evolution problem for a set , originally motivated by a model where a dog controls a flock of sheep. Necessary conditions and sufficie…
