Abstract

top
We consider an optimal control problem for a system of the form x ˙ = f(x,u), with a running cost L. We prove an interior sphere property for the level sets of the corresponding value function V. From such a property we obtain a semiconcavity result for V, as well as perimeter estimates for the attainable sets of a symmetric control system.

From such a property we obtain a semiconcavity result for V, as well as perimeter estimates for the attainable sets of a symmetric control system.
