Hamilton–Jacobi equations and two-person zero-sum differential games with unbounded controls

Hong Qiu, Jiongmin Yong (2013)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

Similarity:

A two-person zero-sum differential game with unbounded controls is considered. Under proper coercivity conditions, the upper and lower value functions are characterized as the unique viscosity solutions to the corresponding upper and lower Hamilton–Jacobi–Isaacs equations, respectively. Consequently, when the Isaacs’ condition is satisfied, the upper and lower value functions coincide, leading to the existence of the value function of the differential game. Due to the unboundedness of...

Duality for the level sum of quasiconvex functions and applications

M. Volle (2010)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

Similarity:

We study a quasiconvex conjugation that transforms the level sum of functions into the pointwise sum of their conjugates and derive new duality results for the minimization of the max of two quasiconvex functions. Following Barron and al., we show that the level sum provides quasiconvex viscosity solutions for Hamilton-Jacobi equations in which the initial condition is a general continuous quasiconvex function which is not necessarily Lipschitz or bounded.

Optimal control problems with upper semicontinuous Hamiltonians

Arkadiusz Misztela (2010)

Discussiones Mathematicae, Differential Inclusions, Control and Optimization

Similarity:

In this paper we give examples of value functions in Bolza problem that are not bilateral or viscosity solutions and an example of a smooth value function that is even not a classic solution (in particular, it can be neither the viscosity nor the bilateral solution) of Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman equation with upper semicontinuous Hamiltonian. Good properties of value functions motivate us to introduce approximate solutions of equations with such type Hamiltonians. We show that the value...

A Hamilton-Jacobi approach to junction problems and application to traffic flows

Cyril Imbert, Régis Monneau, Hasnaa Zidani (2013)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

Similarity:

This paper is concerned with the study of a model case of first order Hamilton-Jacobi equations posed on a “junction”, that is to say the union of a finite number of half-lines with a unique common point. The main result is a comparison principle. We also prove existence and stability of solutions. The two challenging difficulties are the singular geometry of the domain and the discontinuity of the Hamiltonian. As far as discontinuous Hamiltonians are concerned, these results seem to...

Comparison and existence results for evolutive non-coercive first-order Hamilton-Jacobi equations

Alessandra Cutrì, Francesca Da Lio (2007)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

Similarity:

In this paper we prove a comparison result between semicontinuous viscosity subsolutions and supersolutions to Hamilton-Jacobi equations of the form u t + H ( x , D u ) = 0 in I R n × ( 0 , T ) where the Hamiltonian may be noncoercive in the gradient As a consequence of the comparison result and the Perron's method we get the existence of a continuous solution of this equation.
