MiS Preprint Repository

We have decided to discontinue the publication of preprints on our preprint server as of 1 March 2024. The publication culture within mathematics has changed so much due to the rise of repositories such as ArXiV (www.arxiv.org) that we are encouraging all institute members to make their preprints available there. An institute's repository in its previous form is, therefore, unnecessary. The preprints published to date will remain available here, but we will not add any new preprints here.

Dynamic programming for some optimal control problems with hysteresis

Fabio Bagagiolo

Abstract

We study an infinite horizon optimal control problem for a system with two state variables. One of them has the evolution governed by a controlled ordinary differential equation and the other one is related to the latter by a hysteresis relation, represented here by either a play operator or a Prandtl-Ishlinskii operator. By dynamic programming, we derive the corresponding (discontinuous) first order Hamilton-Jacobi equation, which in the first case is of finite dimension and in the second case is of infinite dimension. In both cases we prove that the value function is the only bounded uniformly continuous viscosity solution of the equation.
