On the dependence of the solutions and optimal solutions of control problems on the control constraint set (Q5905400)

The authors consider the linear distributed control system \(\dot x=A(t)x+B(t)u\), \(x(0)=x_ 0\), \(u(t)\in U_ n(t)\), where \(A(t)\) generates a strongly continuous semigroup and \(U_ n(t)\) is closed and convex. They prove that the sets of admissible states converge in the Hausdorff metric as \(n\to\infty\), if the sets \(U_ n(t)\) converge in a certain weak sense. Some consequences are derived for the reachability sets as well as for the optimal value function.
