Absolutely continuous functions of several variables and diffeomorphisms

Stanislav Hencl, Jan Malý (2003)

Open Mathematics

Similarity:

In [4], a class of absolutely continuous functions of d-variables, motivated by applications to change of variables in an integral, has been introduced. The main result of this paper states that absolutely continuous functions in the sense of [4] are not stable under diffeomorphisms. We also show an example of a function which is absolutely continuous with respect cubes but not with respect to balls.

Viscosity solutions of the Bellman equation for exit time optimal control problems with non-Lipschitz dynamics

Michael Malisoff (2001)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

Similarity:

We study the Bellman equation for undiscounted exit time optimal control problems with fully nonlinear lagrangians and fully nonlinear dynamics using the dynamic programming approach. We allow problems whose non-Lipschitz dynamics admit more than one solution trajectory for some choices of open loop controls and initial positions. We prove a uniqueness theorem which characterizes the value functions of these problems as the unique viscosity solutions of the corresponding Bellman equations...

A topological invariant for pairs of maps

Marcelo Polezzi, Claudemir Aniz (2006)

Open Mathematics

Similarity:

In this paper we develop the notion of contact orders for pairs of continuous self-maps (f, g) from ℝn, showing that the set Con(f, g) of all possible contact orders between f and g is a topological invariant (we remark that Con(f, id) = Per(f)). As an interesting application of this concept, we give sufficient conditions for the graphs of two continuous self-maps from ℝ intersect each other. We also determine the ordering of the sets Con(f, 0) and Con(f, h), for h ∈ Hom(ℝ) such that...
