Second order unbounded parabolic equations in separated form

Maciej Kocan, Andrzej Święch (1995)

Studia Mathematica

We prove existence and uniqueness of viscosity solutions of Cauchy problems for fully nonlinear unbounded second order Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman-Isaacs equations defined on the product of two infinite-dimensional Hilbert spaces H'× H'', where H'' is separable. The equations have a special "separated" form in the sense that the terms involving second derivatives are everywhere defined, continuous and depend only on derivatives with respect to x'' ∈ H'', while the unbounded terms are of first order...

Semigeodesics and the minimal time function

Chadi Nour (2006)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

We study the Hamilton-Jacobi equation of the minimal time function in a domain which contains the target set. We generalize the results of Clarke and Nour [J. Convex Anal., 2004], where the target set is taken to be a single point. As an application, we give necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of solutions to eikonal equations.

Soluzioni di viscosità

Italo Capuzzo Dolcetta (2001)

Bollettino dell'Unione Matematica Italiana

This is the expanded text of a lecture about viscosity solutions of degenerate elliptic equations delivered at the XVI Congresso UMI. The aim of the paper is to review some fundamental results of the theory as developed in the last twenty years and to point out some of its recent developments and applications.

Stochastic differential games involving impulse controls

Feng Zhang (2011)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

A zero-sum stochastic differential game problem on infinite horizon with continuous and impulse controls is studied. We obtain the existence of the value of the game and characterize it as the unique viscosity solution of the associated system of quasi-variational inequalities. We also obtain a verification theorem which provides an optimal strategy of the game.

Symplectic Pontryagin approximations for optimal design

Jesper Carlsson, Mattias Sandberg, Anders Szepessy (2009)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis - Modélisation Mathématique et Analyse Numérique

The powerful Hamilton-Jacobi theory is used for constructing regularizations and error estimates for optimal design problems. The constructed Pontryagin method is a simple and general method for optimal design and reconstruction: the first, analytical, step is to regularize the hamiltonian; next the solution to its stationary hamiltonian system, a nonlinear partial differential equation, is computed with the Newton method. The method is efficient for designs where the hamiltonian function can be...
