Semiconcave Functions, Hamilton-Jacobi Equations, and Optimal Control

by Piermarco Cannarsa and Carlo Sinestrari

Book Overview

Semiconcavity is a natural generalization of concavity that retains most of the good properties known in convex analysis, but arises in a wider range of applications. This volume details the theory of semiconcave functions, and of the role they play in optimal control and Hamilton-Jacobi equations. The first part covers the general theory, encompassing all key results and illustrating them with significant examples. The latter part is devoted to...
