Abstract

This paper aims to investigate a control problem governed by differential equations with Radon measure as data and with final state constraints. By using a known reparametrization method (by Dal Maso and Rampazzo [18]), we obtain that the value function can be characterized by means of an auxiliary control problem of absolutely continuous trajectories, involving time-measurable Hamiltonian. We study the characterization of the value function of this auxiliary problem and discuss its numerical approximations.

Keywords:

Optimal control problem,
differential systems with measures as data,
measurable functions,
Hamilton-Jacobi equations.
