Nonconvex Duality in Optimal Control

Francis Clarke; C. Nour

We derive a representation of the minimum cost of an optimal control problem in terms of the upper envelope of generalized semisolutions of the Hamilton--Jacobi equation.

On the Union of Closed Balls Property

C. Nour; Jean Takche

We provide a new analytical proof for a strengthened version of the variable radius form of the union of closed balls conjecture. We also introduce a strong version of this conjecture and discuss its validity.

Semiconcavity of the bilateral minimal time function: The linear case

C. Nour; Ronald J. Stern

Abstract For a linear control system, we provide conditions under which the bilateral minimal time function T ( ⋅ , ⋅ ) is semiconcave near a given point ( α , β ) . A semiconvexity result of Nour [C. Nour, The bilateral minimal time function, J. Convex Anal. 13 (1) (2006) 61–80, Theorem 4.7] allows us to deduce that T ( ⋅ , ⋅ ) is then also C 1 , 1 -smooth near ( α , β ) . The nonlinear case, which remains open, is discussed in the concluding remarks.
