Value function and necessary conditions in optimal control problems for differential-difference inclusions (Q1868014): Difference between revisions

An optimal control problem is considered for differential-difference inclusions with delay under endpoint constrains: \[ x'(t)=F(t,x(t),x(t-\tau)), t\in[a,b], \] where \(x\in \mathbb{R}^n, \tau \) is a number satisfying \(0<\tau<b-a.\) Generalized derivatives and gradients of the value functions are estimated. These estimates allow to derive necessary optimality conditions for the considered problem. The results are obtained by employing Clarke's normal cone.
