Nonsmooth Constrained Optimal Control on Infinite Horizon: A Brief Course (Not yet published)

AUTHOR Basco, Vincenzo
PUBLISHER Springer (01/22/2026)
PRODUCT TYPE Paperback (Paperback)

Description

This book provides an introduction to nonsmooth constrained optimal control theory over infinite horizon, tackling the mathematical challenges that arise when classical finite-horizon methods prove inadequate. The work focuses on recent advances in handling nonsmooth time-dependent data and state constraints--scenarios that commonly arise in fields such as engineering, machine learning, and artificial intelligence.

At its core, the book establishes foundational contributions, including viability results, extensions of Pontryagin's maximum principle to infinite horizons, regularity analysis of value functions, and necessary optimality conditions, with particular attention to transversality conditions and sensitivity relations. The analysis culminates in studying Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman equations through weak solution notions suited to the nonsmooth framework.

Written as a brief course, the book aims to provide graduate students and researchers with the mathematical tools needed to analyze optimal control problems over infinite time horizons, where standard approaches may not apply.
