Abstract
SIAM Journal on Control and Optimization, Volume 62, Issue 2, Page 903-923, April 2024. Abstract. An optimal control problem in the space of probability measures and the viscosity solutions of the corresponding dynamic programming equations defined using the intrinsic linear derivative are studied. The value function is shown to be Lipschitz continuous with respect to a smooth Fourier–Wasserstein metric. A comparison result between the Lipschitz viscosity sub- and supersolutions of the dynamic programming equation is proved using this metric, characterizing the value function as the unique Lipschitz viscosity solution.
期刊介绍:
SIAM Journal on Control and Optimization (SICON) publishes original research articles on the mathematics and applications of control theory and certain parts of optimization theory. Papers considered for publication must be significant at both the mathematical level and the level of applications or potential applications. Papers containing mostly routine mathematics or those with no discernible connection to control and systems theory or optimization will not be considered for publication. From time to time, the journal will also publish authoritative surveys of important subject areas in control theory and optimization whose level of maturity permits a clear and unified exposition.
The broad areas mentioned above are intended to encompass a wide range of mathematical techniques and scientific, engineering, economic, and industrial applications. These include stochastic and deterministic methods in control, estimation, and identification of systems; modeling and realization of complex control systems; the numerical analysis and related computational methodology of control processes and allied issues; and the development of mathematical theories and techniques that give new insights into old problems or provide the basis for further progress in control theory and optimization. Within the field of optimization, the journal focuses on the parts that are relevant to dynamic and control systems. Contributions to numerical methodology are also welcome in accordance with these aims, especially as related to large-scale problems and decomposition as well as to fundamental questions of convergence and approximation.
