Semiconcave Functions, Hamilton-Jacobi Equations, and Optimal Control

by Piermarco Cannarsa and Carlo Sinestrari

Published 22 March 2004

* A comprehensive and systematic exposition of the properties of semiconcave functions and their various applications, particularly to optimal control problems, by leading experts in the field

* A central role in the present work is reserved for the study of singularities

* Graduate students and researchers in optimal control, the calculus of variations, and PDEs will find this book useful as a reference work on modern dynamic programming for nonlinear control systems
